This is Greece! The Hellenes stun Klopp in Augsburg

Maybe the appointment of Jurgen Klopp will turn to be a good thing in the long run. After all, the German football federation wanted him even before the Julian Nagelsmann was hired. But after only two games, it doesn’t look good at all. In fact, it looks like under the former manager. It was all nice and interesting in the opening press conference, and it was surprising when Klopp included 16 uncapped players in his 44-man squad in order to check everybody but somehow forgot to include Denis Undav. But after a draw against the Netherlands and a shocking 1-0 loss against Greece, the honeymoon is over. For the first time ever, the Greeks defeated the Germans, and they did it in front of their fans in Augsburg, putting the Klopp’s crew to the third place with only one point after three games. This result is even more shocking than Jorge Jesus’ decision to leave Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench for the Norway game.##TWITTER_<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Kourbelis&#39; match-winning goal for Greece against Germany, with Greek commentary<br><br>Can’t fake that passion 🥹 <a href="https://t.co/Sexqkd49cP">pic.twitter.com/Sexqkd49cP</a></p>&mdash; Gambana (@gambana) <a href="https://x.com/gambana/status/2104356302457626642?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 27, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>##Barcelona forward Karim Adeyemi had the best chance of the opening half when he stormed past the Greek defence on the counter, but sprayed his shot just over the crossbar. With Germany dominating possession but offering little in attack, the visitors grew bolder and more incisive on the counter and should have taken the lead when Fotis Ioannidis blasted wide of the goal with just Alexander Nuebel to beat. Greece broke through moments later, however, when Kourbelis's low shot took a wicked deflection off Joshua Kimmich and rolled into the bottom left corner.##TWITTER_<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨🚨| 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐃: Germany has lost to Greece for the 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑!

It was clear that raw talent was their main ingredient, but not the only one in their performance. They knew exactly how to defend, were patient, and suffered together at times. Greece defended until the final whistle, but they had the more serious chances. Ioannidis came close, as did Tzolis. Germany were playing by sheer force of will… Jurgen Klopp will not be happy, and the entire German public will be on his back as well.
