Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz congratulated the German soccer players on reaching the European Championship final.
“That was a great achievement,” wrote the SPD politician on Thursday night on Twitter. “I’m looking forward to going to London and supporting the German team in their dream final against the hosts England at Wembley.”
The team of national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg had previously beaten France 2-1 (1-1) in the semi-finals of the European Championships in Milton Keynes. It now meets the English selection on Sunday (6:00 p.m. CEST/ARD and DAZN) at London’s Wembley Stadium.
