"Dear Germany: We were better - in all respects"
Austria is going crazy - the small neighbor has little more than malice for Germany. For the first time since the 1930s, the Alpine republic defeated its great rival from the north twice in a row. The press comments on the DFB team's 0:2 in Vienna.
"ÖSTERREICH": "Cordoba at the Happel! I'm going crazy. In the 41st prestigious duel, our national team knocks Germany out cold and closes the international year with an incredible 2:0 victory. Vienna trembles: What a crowning end to the year!"
"Krone": "Epic! Rangnick's ÖFB heroes humiliate Germany. A dream: A day as wonderful as today. More committed, more motivated, better footballers. That pleased the soccer heart. Well, dear Germans, you wouldn't have believed it. But we were better - in every respect!"
"Standard": "Strong ÖFB team humiliates Germany. To speak of a sensation would almost be an insult to David Alaba and his colleagues. Because the 2:0 against four-time world champions Germany was highly deserved and was achieved with a remarkable, even magnificent naturalness. The big neighbor was very small. Sané goes crazy in a friendly match."
Die Presse": "The European Championship can come - for Austria, not for Germany. The nervous Nagelsmann gesticulated wildly in the coaching area, while Ralf Rangnick watched the action on the pitch calmly and contentedly. It was somehow an upside-down soccer world."
ORF: "Well-deserved prestige victory - ÖFB team makes Germany look old. Austria defeated Germany for the second time in a row, and for the first time since the 1930s, when the 'Wunderteam' still stood out. Germany were a shadow of their former selves. It could have been even worse, but Austria left it at 2:0."
"Kurier": "Closing time in the Vienna Prater. The euphoria surrounding the team reached an interim climax on Tuesday evening, as they not only beat Germany 2:0 in the final test, but also controlled it and deservedly emerged victorious from this prestigious duel."
After the stunning 2:0 win over Germany, Julian Nagelsmann's criticism towards his team was evident.Despite being part of the National soccer team, some Austrian players, including Soccer star Julian Nagelsmann, struggled against Germany's dominance in the previous encounters.
