The Merkur Spielarena in Düsseldorf hosted Germany's final international friendly before Euro 2020, as Die Mannschaft hosted an injury-ravaged Latvia side. Joachim Low named a strong starting XI and his players delivered the good in some style, as they recorded a stunning 7-1 victory at home.
Germany dominated proceedings right from the get-go and created a flurry of chances in the opening exchanges, as they got a lot of joy in the wide areas. Robin Gosens broke the deadlock with his first goal for his country, as he rifled home a left-footed shot after being teed up by Kai Havertz.
The three-time European champions added four more goals before half-time through Ilkay Gundogan, Thomas Muller and Serge Gnabry, while their third goal of the night went down as a Roberts Ozols OG after a clever piece of play from Kai Havertz.
Timo Werner and Leroy Sane got their names on the scoresheet as second-half substitutes, while Aleksejs Saveljevs' audacious volley turned out to be a mere consolation for the away side.
As Germany made a massive statement of intent ahead of Euro 2020, here are five talking points from the game.
Fresh from scoring the winner in the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester City, Chelsea's record signing Kai Havertz produced another eye-catching display, this time for his country. The elegant midfielder showed his class on the ball with a few neat touches and was heavily involved in Germany's build-up play.
Havertz played his part in Gundogan's wondergoal and was also instrumental in his side's third goal, as his right-footed shot from close range found its way into the back of the net via a deflection. The 21-year-old's unique skill set could come in handy for Germany, as he looks set to retain his place when Die Mannschaft take on France in a star-studded clash next week.
With Robin Gosens and Joshua Kimmich stationed as wing-backs ahead of a three-man backline, Germany looked irresistible at times and wreaked havoc against an injury-ravaged Latvia side.
Gosens is coming on the back of a sensational season with Atalanta in Serie A, having scored a staggering 11 goals in all competitions as a left-wing back. The 26-year-old broke his international duck with a well-taken goal from inside the penalty area, indicating that he could well be Low's X-factor at Euro 2020.
As for Kimmich, he was heavily involved in the build-up and played a few delightful crosses into the Latvia penalty area. In the past three years, Germany have struggled to find their preferred formation. However, the current 3-4-3 set-up could seemingly bring the best out of their squad at Euro 2020.
