Home shirt as worn by the side during their run to the final of Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland. The competition was Joachim Löw’s first as the manager of the national side, only to be denied silverware by a Fernando Torres goal that saw Spain run out 1-0 winners and crowned champions. The Germans sealed second place in Group B after a final game showdown with Austria, running out 1-0 winners thanks to a blistering long-range free-kick from Michael Ballack. Victory over Portugal in the last eight was followed by a dramatic 90th minute Phillip Lahm winner against Turkey in the Semi-Finals to secure a first final in the competition since 1996
