DFB women meet Spain: Who will make it to the European Championship final?

Today is a big day for the German women's national team, as they will face Spain in the semi-finals of the European Championship on July 23, 2025 at 9:00 p.m. Wettfreunde reports that the DFB women made it to the semi-finals despite a mixed group phase. Their previous performances against Poland (2:0) and Denmark (2:1) speak for themselves. However, they had to prevail against France in an exciting penalty shootout in the quarter-finals.

The signs for the game against Spain are mixed. Kathrin Hendrich is suspended, while Carlotta Wamser is back in the squad. This could have a decisive impact on the stability of the defense. It remains to be seen whether the German defense, which has always conceded goals in the first half of the last three European Championship games, can hold its own against the attacking Spaniards.

Strong Spain and their impressive balance sheet

Spain performed strongly in this tournament and can look back on an impressive record. All victories were achieved by at least two goals, including a 2-0 win in the quarterfinals against Switzerland. The Spanish team also shines with a high ball possession rate of 73% and a passing accuracy of 88%. As expected, Spain is considered to be too strong individually and the betting providers give odds of 1.55 for a win for Spain and 2.35 for a win with a handicap of -1.

Ann-Katrin Berger – From illness to high achiever

It is also worth taking a special look at Ann-Katrin Berger. The 33-year-old goalkeeper has not only made Germany proud, but has also fought personal battles. Tag24 reports that Berger beat cancer twice and is now hoping to be in goal at the upcoming Olympic Games DFB women to stand. After a strong performance in the last friendly match against Austria, in which she kept her goal clean and assisted two goals in the 4-0 win, she was preferred over the previous goalkeeper Merle Frohms.

Berger is overjoyed to now be in the spotlight after a few difficult years. Your nomination for the Olympic Games is particularly valuable since the German national team was unable to qualify for the 2021 Olympics. National coach Horst Hrubesch will make the final decision in Marseille and fans are excited to see whether Berger gets the chance to prove her skills.

Conclusion

Today's semi-final promises pure excitement. Although Germany has never lost to Spain, the current performances and the individual abilities of the Spanish players make the outcome of the game uncertain. Will the DFB women be able to perform at their best again, or is Spain simply too big? The clock is ticking and fans are ready for another chapter in the history of women's football.
