The 2025 UEFA Women’s Euro semifinal round continues on Wednesday as Spain and Germany prepare to face off. Both teams are regarded as top competitors in European soccer, yet they embody different playing styles, with only one team poised to reach the final.
Spain has been on a winning streak, co-favorites after their impressive championship at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and they’ve maintained an undefeated record through the tournament. Their recent win against Switzerland in the quarterfinals (2-0) exemplifies their solid performance.
On the other hand, Germany has faced challenges with player retirements and injuries but remains a formidable force, advancing through penalties against France in the quarterfinals.
