“Sometimes it wasn’t possible anymore’: DFB top talent was about to end his career. Years later, Maximilian Beier was considered a candidate to play for Germany at the European Championships in their own country.

The 21-year-old offensive man from TSG Hoffenheim was called up to the DFB squad for the first time in March. Beier remains a candidate for Julian Nagelsmann's European Championship squad Even though Beier sat on the bench for 180 minutes against Équipe Tricolore and Oranje and was therefore the only debutant without an appearance.
