Currently, it is hot in Germany due to the ongoing Euro 2024. The hosts of the event are performing excellently, having won two matches and being the first to secure a place in the knockout stage. Their second match took place in Stuttgart, where there is a special board at the main train station.

The opening match of Euro 2024 took place on Friday, June 14. Six goals were scored, as the German national team showed strength and crushed Scotland 5-1. This is how the hosts of the tournament started the competition.

Five days after this match, Germany played another one, this time against the Hungarian national team. Again, the hosts performed well and won 2-0, securing their advancement to the knockout stage.

In the match in Stuttgart, Jamal Musiala and Ilkay Gundogan scored goals. Musiala opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, and Gundogan added another just over an hour into the game.

This goal was special for Musiala because he was born in Stuttgart. The Bayern Munich star also scored in the competition's opening match, where he was named player of the match.

Meanwhile, it turns out that the 21-year-old has also been honored in his city. A photo from the main train station in Stuttgart appeared on social media. Below the station's name, there is information about Musiala with graphics from Euro 2024.

"Jamal Musiala's hometown," says the inscription on the special board.
