Battle of the giants: Germany challenges France in the Women's European Championship quarter-finals!
There is tension in the air: Tonight Germany and France will duel in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Women's European Championship in Basel. At 9 p.m. things get serious for the German team, which needs a lot of motivation after the disappointing 1:4 against Sweden in the preliminary round in order to survive in the fight for a place in the semi-finals. DFB player Sjoeke Nuesken (24) is optimistic about the challenge. In an interview, she emphasized that it was now time to express the strength of the German team and win the knockout round. Today is the opportunity for her and the entire team to demonstrate this strength, as the forecasts are in the French team's favor.
France has shown a consistently positive performance so far, winning all three preliminary round games with an impressive goal difference of 11:4. This got the French squad rolling and made them the favorites of the game. The situation is completely different for Germany, whose mood appears to have been somewhat dampened after the defeat against Sweden. Now it's time to clear our minds and fight for the big goal. Picture reports on the current route of the German players and the anticipation of the challenges ahead.
Key duels in focus
Another exciting duel will develop between Franziska Kett and Delphine Cascarino. Kett could come into play as a left-back, but she lacks playing experience in this tournament so far. Cascarino has already contributed two goals and two assists and is proving to be one of the most active players in the French offensive. Curiosity increases - who will ultimately win?
Strategic insights
Jule Brand's appearance on the German side is eagerly awaited. Brand not only has four scorer points, but also the most shots on goal in the German team. Her juxtaposition with Selma Bacha, France's technically gifted left-back, appears to be crucial. Bacha has a strong attacking role and has been responsible for numerous dangerous crosses.
This game analysis is rounded off by the duel between Klara Bühl and Élisa De Almeida, as well as Kathrin Hendrich and Sakina Karchaoui. While Bühl leads the most dribbling in the German squad, De Almeida has had an unremarkable performance in the European Championship so far and could therefore be perceived as a weak point. Hendrich, on the other hand, brings experience with him - an important resource wanted in such a crucial game. Here the French are once again in a better starting position.
