Germany secured a crucial 2-1 away victory at the San Siro, setting the stage for the second leg.
Playing at home, Germany raced to a 3–0 lead in the first half, with goals from Joshua Kimmich (penalty) and Jamal Musiala, who capitalized on a quickly taken corner while Italy's goalkeeper was out of position.
However, Italy mounted a spirited comeback in the second half, scoring three goals to level the match.
Despite the draw in the second leg, Germany's first-leg advantage ensured their progression to the semi-finals, where they will face Portugal.
Portugal, champions of the inaugural edition, are looking to become the first nation to win the trophy twice.
They defeated Denmark in a thrilling quarter-final, to book their spot in Munich, but were made to work for the win.

However, Portugal took the lead in the 38th minute when Joachim Andersen inadvertently headed a Bruno Fernandes corner into his own net.
Denmark responded after halftime, with Rasmus Kristensen equalizing in the 56th minute.
Ronaldo redeemed his earlier miss by scoring in the 72nd minute, but Christian Eriksen's goal in the 76th minute leveled the aggregate score again.
Substitute Francisco Trincão became the hero for Portugal, scoring in the 86th minute to force extra time and adding another in the 91st minute.
Gonçalo Ramos sealed the victory with a goal in the 115th minute, sending Portugal to the semi-finals.
