After bossing their group, Julian Nagelsmann's Germany came through a thrilling last-eight tie with Italy last November to make it here — they fought off a spirited Azzurri comeback to squeeze through 5-4 on aggregate. This marks the first time they've made it through to the Nations League final four. Inspirational captain Joshua Kimmich is set to win his 100th international cap at the Allianz Stadium where he also plays his club football for Bayern Munich.

Portugal know what it takes to win this tournament and showed some steel in the quarter-finals after losing the first leg to Denmark. Roberto Martinez has his full set of stars available to pick from on Tuesday, with Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva and, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo, all expected to start.

The winners will face either Spain or France in the Nations League final on Sunday. Read on to find out how to watch Germany vs Portugal live streams wherever you are today — and for free.
