Pascal Groß
Pascal Groß started on the bench after playing basically the whole 90 minutes in the first leg. He came in the 63rd minute with Karim Adeyemi and did not have much to contribute in this match, in particular. On the contrary, his presence might have had a negative effect.
Even with the veteran's good control and passing ability, his off-possession work lacks a little, as is possibly observed in his BVB displays. With Goretzka and Stiller leaving simultaneously, Nagelsmann took the combativeness out of Germany's midfield, providing an outlet for Italy to progress the ball and create danger for Oliver Baumann.
