Germany was eliminated from the World Cup in Qatar in the first stage despite losing to Costa Rica (2-4). Jamal Musiala was their best player but his excellent performance was not enough for the Germans to avoid the debacle.
1
Manuel Neuer
Historical
Despite conceding two goals, he showed in his interventions the level that has led him to become the goalkeeper with the most caps (19) in World Cup history today.
6

Joshua Kimmich
sacrificed
This is the great novelty in the German line-up. Hansi Flick moved him back to his right-back position, while Pep Guardiola placed him at Bayern Munich, although after the break he was placed back in the double pivot.

david ram
coming down
It is at the level of Germany. The left-back brought a lot of danger in the first half on his wing and gave Gnabry the 0-1 cross. But in the second part he fell into general trouble.
8

Leon Goretzka
replaced
He didn’t have the clairvoyance of other occasions and Hansi Flick took over on the break so Kimmich took his position on the double pivot.
fifteen

Niklas Sule
Overcome
Costa Rica discovered its shortcomings in its counterattacks in the second half and showed signs of fragility in spaces.
two

Antonio Rudiger
confused
A massive error would have almost cost Germany a goal at 1-0 if not for Neuer’s save. He was going against the current, he had arrests to continue the attack and scored a shot on the post.
10

Serge Gnabry
Compulsive
He opened the scoring with a header and was one of the players who pressed the most in search of goal. He also gave Havertz a 3-2 assist.
twenty-one

Ilkay Gundogan
Be careful
The Manchester City midfielder was not at the level of the previous two games and Flick came on for him at the start of the second half.
13

Thomas Muller
No power
The veteran German midfielder played 9 this time and in the first half he had several chances to finish off long balls, but was eventually swallowed up by the Costa Rican defense and substituted.
14

Jamal Musiala
Remaining
He is the best player in Germany, who depends all the time on his quality and interned between the lines. At 19, he once again showed that the future of the ‘Mannschaft’ depends on his talent.
4

Matthias Ginter
resource
He has already entered the discount without avoiding the elimination of Germany.
1

Leroy Sane
Novelty
He regained possession after coming on as a substitute against Spain and fed his mates in attacking centers although the goal was missed. He completed the entire game and helped Füllkrug to the final 2-4.
16

lukas klosterman
Disoriented
Flick cleared the stout right-back center back at half-time for Kimmich to regain his position in central midfield and that’s where Costa Rica scored their two goals.
7

Kai Havertz
rebel
He came on for Müller and the Chelsea striker was key to the winless comeback with two goals.
Eleven

Mario Gotze
there is a shadow
He did not have an impact on the game in Germany by not being rich in the imbalance that led him to the World Cup after his good season at Eintracht.
9

Nicos Fullkrug
Disgusting
As against Spain, the giant striker showed that he has a goal between his eyebrows. He came on in the second half, scored one and provided an assist.
