Germany vs. Spain Preview: Team News & Possible Lineups
Germany Women Football Team vs Spain Women Football Team Lineups are derived from previous match days. We take into consideration how strong the opponents are, what players are injured and of course team news before the match.
Team News Germany
Germany will be without Sydney Lohmann and Camilla Küver as both players have muscular problems. Lea Schüller is absent due to family reasons. Central defender Bibiane Schulze Solano of Athletic Bilbao will join the team, as announced at Wednesday afternoon’s press conference.
Christian Wück on Ann-Katrin Berger’s availability: “We’ll wait for the final training session and decide tomorrow morning whether she feels able to play such a final. She trained alone with the goalkeeping coach yesterday, and we have to take into account that she had a very exhausting journey. These are all things we have to weigh carefully.”
What the coach has to say
Head coach Christian Wück reflecting on losing to Spain in the Women’s EURO 2025 semi-final: “It was a very close match. We have to assume that we will have little possession of the ball again – We want to make the spaces narrow and then play them along. We have to be consistent and aggressive, both defensively and offensively. Everyone has to help each other. Eleven good individualists will always lose to a team. We want to be the team.”
On the competition format: “In the Women’s Nations League, UEFA still seems to be looking for the right format. From a coach’s perspective, it’s not so bad to play Spain twice at this top level. It will be very beneficial for us—regardless of the result. Normally when you talk about a final, it’s one match. We want to lay the foundation tomorrow and bring the fire from the crowd onto the pitch, giving something back to the fans.”
Team News Spain
Sonia Bermúdez on the new call up Edna Imade: “We’re delighted to have her, and we appreciate the effort from everyone who made it possible. She has a real eye for goal, she’s strong, great in the air, attacks space well, she’s fast, she’s a lovely girl, and we can’t wait to have her with us.”
What the coach has to say
Spain head coach Sonia Bermúdez: “We want to win both matches and come back from Germany with a strong result. We have a great opponent and [the fixture] will see some of the best players in the world.
“Germany has an excellent team. Maximum respect—this final will not be easy. We’re all very aware that what’s coming will be very tough. The stadium there is already sold out and they’ll have the full support of their fans. And if they’re capable of that, then so are we on the 2nd. They’re a very powerful, very strong team. It can seem like they’re out of the game, but they never give up. Their competitiveness keeps them alive in every match. But for now, we focus on the first leg over there.”
