For those who have followed Aleksandar Pavlović’s career, it may feel as if he had already made his full Germany debut, considering how long he has been around the German national team.
Due to various bad luck with injuries and his tonsils, the young footballer from Bayern Munich’s academy was restricted from starting for Germany, even including the 2024 European Championship, since March. His full debut was overdue for over six months and it finally happened in Germany’s 1-0 win over Netherlands.
In typical Pavlović fashion, however, his debut was not the focus of his post match statement: “I’m very happy and proud [about my Germany debut]. The fact that we won here in Munich makes me even happier,” the long time, self-professed Bayern fan said, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. The Netherlands are always a good opponent. We did very well. It was a great game from us.”
Perhaps it was always meant to be that Pavlović’s full Germany debut would take place in the frenetic Allianz Arena as tens of thousands of fans roared the youngster on. If it is the correct beginning to his Germany career, however, he will have to ensure that it does not falter at the first step. Pavlović’s mission with Germany begins again in November; now that he has started, it is time for him to prove he cannot be stopped.
