OK, I never expected Jogi to choose the team I outlined earlier this week, and the line-up is not too much of a surprise save for Dennis Aogo starting in place of Arne Friedrich and the just fit-again Miro starting instead of Mario Gómez who is scoring goals for fun at the moment. Here’s the XI:
Neuer – Lahm (c), Mertesacker, Badstuber, Aogo – Schweinsteiger, Khedira – Müller, Özil, Podolski – Klose
The Italians have a number of unfamiliar names in their starting line-up, and no Totti, Gattuso or Pirlo. Jetzt geh’t los!
