Euro 2025: Spain defeat Germany to set up England final

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 on Wednesday night.

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.

Spain will face England in the final on Sunday, a rematch of the 2023 World Cup final, which the Spaniards won 1-0.

Bonmati said after the match that targeting Ann-Katrin Berger’s near post was planned in advance.

She said: “With the technical team, the analysts and the goalkeeping coach, we studied Berger, and we realised sometimes she left the near post free, so I didn’t think twice. I didn’t want it to go to penalties.

“When the ball went in, I started running crazily. I saw the bench on their feet, so I went to them. We work together for these moments. I wanted to share it with the squad, a beautiful group.”
