Today at the Bremen "Weserstadion," a friendly match between Germany and Ukraine will take place, marking the ninth encounter in history for both teams.

Unfortunately, the advantage in these matches belongs to our opponent: the German national team has won five times, with three other games ending in draws. The difference in goals scored and conceded is 17-7 in favor of today's hosts.

It is also worth noting three interesting facts. First, this will be the second match for our team against Germany in Bremen. The opponents first met there on April 30, 1997, in a qualification round for the 1998 World Cup (2-0).

Secondly, this game will only be the second friendly match between the rivals.

And thirdly, the current captain of Ukraine's national team, Andriy Yarmolenko, already has a goal scored against Germany to his name. Besides him, German players have also played for blue-and-yellow teams such as Andriy Shevchenko, Yevhen Konoplyanka, Serhiy Nazarenko, Ruslan Malinovskyi, Roman Yaremchuk...
