Following his spellbinding display, he avoided the speculations about his future. "Those are all things I'm quite honesty not handling right now."

The last German U21 player swiping multiple goals at a Euro was Florian Wirtz in the 2021 semi-final against the Netherlands (2:1).
"We weren't certain what to expect. We didn’t know the opposition. So, we're extremely thrilled," said Woltemade: "And that's why a start like this feels extremely good. I've only played one tournament in my life. I talk like I know it all. But: It feels good." Woltemade was eliminated in the group stage of the Euro with the German U17 in 2019, ending in a 1:3 loss to Italy. This time however, things have taken a significant turn - mainly due to Woltemade.
