Spain have advanced to the final of the European Championship for the first time, beating Germany 1-0 in the semi-final of Euro 2025. Spain controlled play throughout the match but could not find a goal in normal time. Aitana Bonmati finally broke through in the 113th minute, beating Ann-Katrin Berger at her near post.

Despite all their success, Spain have never won the Euros, and their 2023 World Cup win was overshadowed by controversy. On Sunday, they hope that the focus will be firmly on them.

Germany defender Sarai Linder has been ruled out of her team’s Women’s European Championship semifinal against Spain, leaving the eight-time champion short of defenders against the tournament favorites.
