Woltemade's shocking mistake in Juventus shirt against Serbia
Around the Nations League match hour, Germany, leading 1-0 against Serbia, saw Juventus' young striker Nick Woltemade, wearing the German shirt, miss a tap‑in in front of the goal, a mistake that immediately blew up on social media.
The awakening in the Europa League
In the previous Europa League match, Woltemade had found the way to goal for Juventus against NEC Nijmegen, converting a penalty and breaking his duck for the black-and-white.
Around the match hour, with Germany leading 1-0 against Serbia, the German giant had a golden chance to double the lead, but Woltemade found himself practically on the goal line, with no cover from the goalkeeper.
The striker received a low cross from the right, ideal for a simple tap‑in on the far post, but his touch ended embarrassingly high, leaving teammates and opponents stunned.
The mistake instantly went viral on social media, adding further pressure on the German center‑forward and causing amazement among fans.
Fortunately for Germany, the incident did not jeopardize the win: Jurgen Klopp was able to celebrate his first triumph as head coach.
The episode highlights Woltemade's difficulty, who must manage expectations both in the black-and-white and in the German shirt, a burden that could affect his future performances.
