Germany’s new generation of stars, Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala, showcased their brilliance in a dominant 5-0 victory over Hungary on Saturday. The young forwards orchestrated goals for each other, highlighting the promising future of German football.

After the retirements of Manuel Neuer, Toni Kroos, Thomas Mueller, and Ilkay Gundogan, Wirtz and Musiala have emerged as the torchbearers for the national team. Their chemistry was evident from the start, as Wirtz’s incisive pass found Musiala, who set up Niclas Fuellkrug for the opening goal.

In the second half, Wirtz’s long pass released Musiala, who doubled Germany’s lead. Musiala then returned the favor, assisting Wirtz for a clinical finish. Aleks Pavlovic and Kai Havertz added further goals to complete the rout.

The convincing win suggests that Germany has the talent to overcome the departures of their veteran players. Wirtz and Musiala, both 21, and Havertz, 25, form a formidable attacking trio that can lead the team to success in the years to come.

“It’s fun to play with Flo,” Musiala said after the match. “We need to keep building our chemistry and use every game to improve.”

Coach Julian Nagelsmann praised the atmosphere in the camp and the chemistry between the players. “When Wirtz and Musiala are on the pitch and they connect with each other, it’s nice to watch,” he said.

Germany’s new-look team also featured Pascal Gross filling in for Kroos and Marc-Andre ter Stegen making his debut as the number one goalkeeper. Fuellkrug, who had struggled to score for West Ham, showed his class with the opening goal.

The victory sets Germany up for a tough test against the Netherlands in Amsterdam on Tuesday. Hungary, meanwhile, will host Bosnia and Herzegovina.
