Overview

• Germany will meet world champions Spain in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 semi-final on 23 July at Letzigrund in Zurich with live free-to-air coverage on ARD and streaming on Joyn.
• Spain have progressed through the tournament unbeaten, scoring a tournament-high 16 goals and conceding just three while fielding stars such as Aitana Bonmatí, Alexia Putellas and top scorer Esther González.
• The reigning world champions have never defeated Germany in eight previous encounters, with five losses and three draws.
• Germany will be without key starters Kathrin Hendrich, Sjoeke Nüsken, Giulia Gwinn and Sarai Linder due to red cards, suspensions and injuries.
• Tactical analyses highlight Spain’s high defensive line and forward-pushed full-backs as vulnerable to quick German counter-attacks and set-piece headers given Spain’s 45 percent aerial duel win rate.
