Jamal Musiala will be up against a four-time world champion that presses high, circulates the ball with patience and punishes even the slightest mistake.
On the other side, the Persian team sits deep near their box, feel comfortable soaking up pressure and turn deadly whenever they can break into space, staying true to a style built on sacrifice and perfectly timed counter punches.
Etched in the collective memory is that 2–0 at the 1998 World Cup in favour of the German side, a precedent that fuels the pride and desire for revenge of Team Melli.
In a group stage where there’s no room for lapses, this showdown contrasts historic pedigree with relentless competitive hunger from the opening whistle.
On the World Cup stage, Die Mannschaft combine four titles and countless podium finishes with two recent group-stage stumbles, a wound that drives their new wave of talent, led by Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich, to win back respect on the global stage.
The Persian side, with six World Cup appearances and statement wins like those over the United States and Morocco, arrive powered by the finishing of Mehdi Taremi and Sardar Azmoun.
If you’re ready to experience it live, you can already secure your ticket for a Germany–Iran showdown that’s poised to rewrite the script for the entire group.
