Ronaldo sends Portugal into Nations League final, ends Germany curse
Portugal's Christiano Ronaldo (E) celebrates scoring his side's second goal during the UEFA Nations League semi final soccer match between Germany and Portugal at Allianz Arena. Federico Gambarini/dpa Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winner to end his personal and Portugal's curse against Germany with a 2-1 comeback victory on Wednesday for a place in the Nations League final. Francisco Conceicao with a superb curling shot in the 63rd and Ronaldo's tap-in five minutes later reversed Germany's 48th minute lead from a header by Liverpool target Florian Wirtz. Advertisement It was the 137th national team goal for the 40-year-old Ronaldo in his 220th cap, both figures being world records. Portugal last beat Germany 25 years ago at Euro 2000 before losing five times in a row against them, with Ronaldo featuring in all of those five games. Winners of the inaugural Nations League in 2019, Portugal advanced into Sunday's final in the same Munich arena which will be a contest for a second title because they will face either 2021 winners France or 2023 champions Spain. Germany will play for third place the same day in Stuttgart as their dream of a first title since the 2017 Confederations Cup ended with a first defeat since the Euro 2024 quarter-finals against eventual champions Spain.

Create Account Three people were killed in the Aug. 23 attack at a 'Festival of Diversity' marking the 650th anniversary of the city in western Germany. The Syrian man, who has been identified only as Issa Al H. in line with German privacy rules, was arrested a day after the attack. He is charged with three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and membership in a foreign terrorist organization, the Islamic State group, in the trial at the state court in Duesseldorf. There are no formal pleas in the German legal system. However, the suspect admitted responsibility for the attack in a statement read by his lawyers, German news agency dpa reported. 'I have brought severe guilt upon myself. I am prepared to accept the verdict,' he said. 'I killed innocent people, not infidels.'

The Solingen incident was one of several deadly attacks in the months leading up to Germany's national election in February that involved immigrant suspects, pushing migration to the forefront of the political agenda in that vote. It highlighted problems with returning rejected asylum-seekers to the first country where they entered the European Union, as is supposed to happen under EU rules. The suspect was supposed to be deported to Bulgaria in 2023 but reportedly disappeared for a time and avoided expulsion. Murder charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison in Germany. The Duesseldorf court has scheduled trial sessions until late September. Columnists Sunshine Girls Sunshine Girls Relationships Columnists

Dortmund captain Can misses team training ahead of Barcelona game
Dortmund's Emre Can and his teammates stand disappointed in front of the fans' stands after the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg soccer match between FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund at Olimpic Lluis Companys. Federico Gambarini/dpa Borussia Dortmund captain Emre Can missed the final team training ahead of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona on Tuesday. Can trained only individually on Monday and it's doubtful for the home match against the Spanish team. Dortmund have a huge challenge ahead of them after being thrashed by Barça 4-0 in the first leg last week.

Perfectionist Flick says Barca can improve as Kovac bemoans defence
Barcelona coach Hans-Dieter Flick gestures on the touchline during the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg soccer match between FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund at Olimpic Lluis Companys. Federico Gambarini/dpa Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said his side can still get even better despite their 4-0 thrashing of Borussia Dortmund in Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg. The hosts put one foot in the last four ahead of next Tuesday's second leg in Germany thanks to Raphinha, a Robert Lewandowski double and Lamine Yamal. Advertisement "We even made too many mistakes tonight, there are still things to work on," German Flick, who led Bayern Munich to the title in 2020, told DAZN. "I don't want to compare (Bayern 2020 with Barca 2025). There is an unbelievable atmosphere in the team. I haven't seen us in this form and this quality." Barca have lifted the European Cup five times and will have one eye on the semi-finals, where they would meet the winners of Inter Milan against Bayern - with the Italians 2-1 up from the away second leg. "We have so many players here who have enormous quality and believe in themselves," Flick added of the Spanish league leaders. "They take on the way we want to play football and they bring the fans with them." Advertisement Dortmund boss Niko Kovac, who must now rally his troops to visit leaders Bayern in the Bundesliga on Saturday, could see few positives. "We thoroughly deserved to lose today," he said. "We punished ourselves, the last goal I think came from our throw-in. It's not good. "We defended badly. You can lose to a team like this but it how you do it."

Inside Germany: Hard-hitting tariffs, cherry blossoms and spring time festivities
Inside Germany is our weekly look at some of the news, talking points and gossip in Germany that you might've missed. It's published each Saturday and members can receive it directly to their inbox by going to their newsletter preferences or adding their email to the sign-up box in this article. As I write, news about backlash to Trump's latest tariffs – which were levied against most countries in the world including, strangely, an uninhabited island near Antarctica – is dominating German media headlines. The blanket tariff of 20 percent on all EU imports comes following a previously announced 25 percent tariffs on foreign cars and steel and aluminium. These are expected to deal a devastating blow to the auto industry, which represents more than 750,000 jobs in Germany, and has already been struggling with increased foreign competition as well as navigating the transition to producing more electric vehicles. Reactions from both German industry leaders and politicians have been mixed . Maybe too mixed, in fact, with some calling for immediate backlash and others cautioning against reactionary measures. The German auto association (VDA), for example, managed to do both at the same time, saying, 'The EU is now called upon to act together and with necessary force, while continuing to signal its willingness to negotiate." One thing that everyone does agree on: this looks to be the beginning of a new era for Germany - US trade. The WTO Director-General has said the move could trigger a trade war, while the German Economic Institute believes the move could cost Germany around €200 billion over the next four years. If Germany and the EU do end up going forward with retaliatory tariffs, the cost of US products would likely rise, which may also encourage more Germans to personally boycott goods from the US. Advertisement Tweet of the week Fixed it for you, @Bild. [image or embed] — Fridays for Future Germany ( @ ) 3 April 2025 at 09:25 Germany is in the midst of a drought, and following a warm and dry winter water levels in the Rhine River are at an historic low for this time of year. The Rhine River is an important in-land shipping lane for cargo ships in Germany. Reporting on the looming economic impacts of the drought, the BILD newspaper ran a headline this week that read, 'Low Rhine level threatens German economy'. Friday's for Future Germany didn't miss their chance for a tongue-in-cheek response, telling BILD they fixed the headline to read, 'Climate crisis threatens German economy'. Advertisement Experts say that human caused climate change has made extreme weather like droughts worse and more common around the world. Where is this? Photo: picture alliance/dpa | Federico Gambarini You can find cherry blossoms and magnolia flowers in full bloom in German cities around the country at this time of year. But this iconic flower-gazing location gets a top mention in travel blogs and guide books every year. This is Heerstraße in Bonn, which, along with Breitestraße, is arguably Germany's best location to be overwhelmed by pink and white blossoms in early April. Other breathtaking places to admire the fleeting petals include parts of the Berliner Mauerweg near Bornholmer Straße and Düsseldorf's House of Japanese Culture.

While parts of eastern Germany will see temperatures drop again through the weekend , it won't be long before they climb again. Advertisement In the meantime, you wont want to miss your chance to indulge in some of the spring-time traditions that Germany has to offer. April is a good month for painting Easter eggs with the family, visiting your local folk festival or foraging for wild herbs in the nearby woods -- don't miss your chance to do so now, or else you'll need to wait a whole year before the opportunity comes again.
