Six months ago, Nick Woltemade had never played for Germany’s senior national team. Two months ago, Woltemade had never scored for Germany’s senior national team. Against Slovakia, Woltemade scored the goal that clinched Germany’s qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Despite the injury absences of Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala, Germany just rattled off five straight wins in World Cup Qualifying with a 16-1 goal differential. Woltemade started all five matches and contributed four goals plus an assist.
“It was a very good game by us,” said Woltemade (captured via @iMiaSanMia). “We showed from the first second that we were determined to win. We were active, creative and had fun on the pitch. It was a nice moment to qualify for the World Cup. It’s nice to play for Germany and score goals. Hopefully I’ll keep this up in the tournament next year.”
Woltemade has made a successful transition from VfB Stuttgart to Newcastle United and will continue to focus on his excellent form leading up to next summer’s tournament.
