The DFB team will face England in the final of the European Championship.

More emotions is probably not possible.

We deliver the reactions at Wembley Stadium.

Munich - EM final!

At Wembley Stadium, record winners Germany will face hosts England - in front of a breathtaking backdrop.

It's about the successor to the Netherlands and the new European dominance in women's football.

Both teams reached the big final of the European Women's Championship with five wins.

Here are the voices surrounding the biggest game of the summer.

ARD expert and ex-national player Nia Künzer before the game about ...

... the tournament performance of the DFB team:

"I think they don't have to prove anything to anyone anymore.

They played a tournament that none of them expected.

They were impressive on the sporting front, but they were also impressive off the pitch.

I don't know anyone who doesn't love her."

… her expectations for the final:

“You can only stop England as a team.

(...) The German team can work very well against the ball, move it.

Maybe pull a tactical foul to disrupt the rhythm of the English women.”

DFB President Bernd Neuendorf before the game about ...

… the performances of the DFB team:

“I think they got the whole country in a little frenzy.

That was not to be expected from the start.

We hope that this frenzy will continue and that disillusionment will not set in again after the tournament.”
