DFB women before EM semi-final: Can you stop the Spaniards?
DFB women before EM semi-final: Can you stop the Spaniards?
On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, the DFB women will meet the Spanish selection in the semi-finals of the European Championship. The kick -off is at 9:00 p.m. in the Letzigrund stadium in Zurich, and the game promises to become a real football festival. But the German team is under pressure: After two challenging games, in which it often had to act outnumbered, it is the declared goal to survive the semi -finals without dismissal. This nerve strength will be crucial if the team meets Spain's winger today and the ball -owned playing style. As reports [sportschau.de] (https://www.sportschau.de/fussball/frauen-fuers-fuers-finals ,uefafrauenem-Ger-SP-Verbericht-100.html), national coach Christian Wück expects his players a lot.
In the quarterfinals, Germany met France in penalty shootout, where goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger held two penalty and thus contributed to the 6: 5 victory of the DFB team. The game was characterized by tension and emotions. With her goal, Sjoeke Nüsken ensured a turn in the game after Germany initially declined. This not only shows the team's ability to fight back, but also their tireless team spirit. But the price for victory was high: in addition to Nüsken, captain Giulia Gwinn also has to fit due to injury, and with Nüsken a key player also fails because of the yellow lock - a double challenge for the German team.
The challenge against Spain
Historically, Germany has a strong balance against Spain: In eight encounters there were five wins and three draws without a defeat. This speaks a lot for the DFB women who also want to rely on their compact defensive structures. Goalkeeper Almuth Schult and her foremen have to prepare for the dreaded Tiki-Taka game features of the Spanish team-a real challenge, as Wück emphasizes. At the same time, the offensive forces of the DFB team demands you to recognize and take advantage of the right moments. National player Rebecca Knaak sums it up: "It is important to be vigilant in the crucial phases of the game and ready to strike."Spain, on the other hand, as a reigning world champion and leader of the FIFA world rankings, is hungry for success and wants to secure this first victory against Germany. Trainer Montse Tomé is impressed by the ripe and freshness of her team, but also warns of the strength of the DFB women. With an offensive that scored 14 goals in the group phase, and through internal reports about tensions within the Spanish team, there could be a tactical possibility for Germany, such as [nadr.de] (https://www.nadr.de/aktuelles/Deutschland- against-s-so-so-so-die-die--frauen-em-em-em-em- 2025/)
