Liverpool's Florian Wirtz started Germany's World Cup qualifying win over Luxembourg this week (Image: Photo by Boris Streubel/Getty Images) "We would have liked to have won in Slovakia, but it is what it is. We are confident we will play well and get the three points." In Germany's previous game in this international break, Wirtz played as a number 10 with Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry on either side of him.

"We have three points — football is a results business after all — but it was more difficult than we had hoped," Nagelsmann said after the win. We needed the second half to really get ourselves into the game.

"We would have deserved to concede a goal. That didn’t happen, and in the end we took our chances and won the game — that’s the most important thing for me." Liverpool.com says: It would do Wirtz a lot of good if he could perform well today and help fire his country to the World Cup.
