The international press also employs the dramatic from the German team against Spain. The reactions at a glance.
After high-tensioning 120 minutes against co-favorite Spain, Germany was eliminated at the women’s football European Championship. In the end, it was 0: 1 against the Iberians, who were the first time in the European Championship final, the dream of ninth title burst suddenly for Germany.
After the game, the brief failure of the combative team of national coach Christian Wück and Spain’s world footballer and match winner Aitana Bonmatí, who hit Spain, focused on. The international presses for 0: 1 at a glance:
As: “Blood, sweat and Aitana! With a goal of the winner of the Golden Ball in the 113rd minute, Spain qualifies for an EM final for the first time.”
Marca: “Aitana writes history! Tor in the 113th minute sealed the first victory over Germany and the move into the first European Championship final.”
Mundo Deportivo: “Aitana dresses like a heroine to reach a historical finale. Spain defeated Germany with a brilliant goal of the winner in the golden ball in the 113rd minute and will contest his first European Championship final against England.”
The Guardian: “It wasn’t a classic Spanish performance, but they don’t care. They are further and stay favorites on the European Championship title. Completion applies to Germany that brought Spain into trouble, but simply could not score the decisive goal.”
BBC: “Again, England will be against Spain – and Germany has to regret that it did not use its chances. Bad decisions and lack of opportunities have cost them the victory.”
Independent: “Just like against France, Ann-Katrin Berger was against the world champion over long distances in Germany’s game. After the quarter-finals against France, they simply went out.
Mirror: “Berger, who had played so great in the previous round, could not react quickly enough when Bonmatí shot the ball into the goal and thus refused to enter the final in Basel.”
The athletic: “Aitana Bonmatí shows why she is world class.”
