The German national team could play in an empty stadium on their next Nations League trip. According to several German media outlets, including Sportschau and kicker, UEFA has reportedly sanctioned Serbia, which could force Klopp's team to play a behind-closed-doors match in Belgrade in November.

Die Welt and n-tv also mention this threat, while t-online raises the question. According to Express, instead of the usual boiling atmosphere, the Mannschaft could discover an unusual atmosphere in the Serbian capital. No official confirmation from UEFA has been reported.
