Nick Woltemade, the 23-year-old striker, stole the show in Germany's debut match at the U21 European Championship, scoring an impressive hat-trick against Slovenia. With a 3:0 win, the German team is well on its way to the quarter-finals.
Woltemade’s Hat-Trick Magic
Woltemade has already surpassed his scoring record from the 2023 tournament, making him the competition's top scorer two years running. As he prepares for the team's second group game against the Czech Republic on Sunday, fans are anticipating even more magic from this rising star.
"It's definitely something I'd like to take with me," said Woltemade, "However, my primary goal is to win the U21 title, which takes place in Bratislava on June 28." Rumors about his market value skyrocketing to around 30 million euros and attracting attention from top clubs like FC Chelsea have not fazed the 1.98-meter tall striker.
"This is part of it," Woltemade admitted. "I think it wouldn’t be optimal scouting if the clubs weren’t keeping an eye on him." He is focused on the tournament and savoring every moment. With the player of the match trophy in hand, he took a selfie and had his teammates sign the match ball.
There's No Stopping Woltemade
5.4 million German viewers watched Woltemade score his second consecutive hat-trick for this German team. After scoring three goals against Spain in March, this was his second hat-trick in a row for the German team. Coach Antonio Di Salvo remarked, "The streak we have here is eerie, but I hope it continues."
Slovenia tasted defeat, but they couldn't halt Woltemade's impressive form. After the final whistle, Woltemade played with two children on the pitch, kicked the ball around as a trophy, and spun it around his tall frame. His teammates were impressed by his humble demeanor, even in the face of growing attention and hype.
Captain Martin Praises Woltemade's Grounded Attitude
"He's down-to-earth," said captain Eric Martel. "You can’t tell that he's been with the senior national team or that he's got this big hype. He's just normal, and that's how he plays."
Woltemade, who refuses to be tied down by scoring quotas, said, "I hope to end up scoring double digits, but I'm also delighted if we progress far enough without reaching double digits."
Woltemade is currently the top scorer at the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, having scored four goals in just two games so far. His striking ability and consistent goal-scoring have drawn attention from major clubs such as Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid, underscoring his rising profile in European football.
For upcoming U21 European Championship fixtures, Germany is set to face the Czech Republic next and then England in the subsequent match. These matches will be crucial tests for Woltemade and the German team as they aim to advance further in the tournament.
