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.

Spain's remarkable run in international competitions reaches another high on Sunday when they take on England in the final at the Women's Euros in Basel, playing in their first European decider in only their fifth appearance at the tournament.
