It was a thrilling Euro 25 semi-final showdown on Wednesday night, and Spain punched their spot this summer’s final as they claimed a 1-0 victory over Germany.
Wednesday’s final four fights looked doomed to spot kicks as both European opportunities create great opportunities on both sides of the halftime break.
But while Germany may have put in what is a brave display, it was Barcelona star Aitana Bonmati who proved to be a Spanish hero at Stadion Letzigrund.
Remembered as one of the decisive moments of this summer’s tournament, the two Ballon d’Or winners produced sublime turns, squeezing their efforts past Ankatlinburger.
Laloja and their superstar team, who have already secured consecutive international titles in the past two summers, will be featured in their first European finals.
Spain will meet England on Sunday night in a recurring 2023 World Cup final.
On the night Spain moved within 90 minutes of officially completing its iconic silverware sweep, we’ve seen the main topics.
In Spain, 90 minutes after crushing more records
None of the seven historic meetings with Germany were won before Wednesday’s semi-finals in Zurich, Spain.
Ultimately, finding a way to edge past historic rivals in the most dramatic situations, Montserrato Tome’s side has continued to crush a series of records since claiming the crown of the Maiden World Cup in 2023.
Laloha retains a horrifying reputation, merely highlighting its position as the most feared international team from around the world, and is now 90 minutes from writing authentic history.
Knowing they can complete a sensational silverware sweep on Sunday night, the former Barcelona midfielder has a very stacked team that includes multiple Ballon d’Or.
While Sunday’s trip to Basel may be the first time in the European final, Tome’s Camp has gained a reputation for his ability to shine on the brightest stages.
The ultimate heartbreak in Germany
Spain may have started Wednesday’s semi-final showdown as an outstanding favorite, but La Roja will always have known that he is facing a monumental challenge in Zurich.
Christian Wack’s camp took their final Five Nations League appearance with a 24-2 total score earlier this year, opening the tournament this summer with perfect momentum and was considered the title Dark Horse.
Last weekend they booked their final four spots as they passed France thanks to a nail biting penalty shootout victory.
But while Wuck’s heartbreaking team may have kneeled in full-time mouths, they should take a lot of positivity from their impressive summer campaign in Switzerland.
Germany may have failed this month to add what was the record ninth European crown, but they have pushed the real world champions to the limit.
The Lioness is waiting in Basel
Spain may have booked the final spot for the Maiden European Championship on Wednesday night, but they will have to quickly descend from their emotional heights ahead of their fate date this weekend.
Thanks to the famous 1-0 victory over England, claiming their maiden World Cup crown in the summer of 2023, Spain will certainly open a Sunday trip and pinch the pencils with a pencil as an outstanding contender.
Similarly, Laloha, who won a 2-1 victory when he last met the Lioness in the Nations League showdown in Catalonia on June 3, will also meet the England team he has certainly carried for a big spell this summer.
Salina Wigman’s camp may have won another notable last gasp comeback when it passed Italy on Tuesday night, but European champions will know that if they have the chance to write their own history they have to do their best.
