The two teams have already faced each other there. In 2008, Spain beat the DFB selection 1-0 in the European Championship final – just as they did two years later in the World Cup semi-final. The overall record of both teams is almost even. Of the 26 duels so far, Germany has won nine and Spain eight. There was no winner nine times. The two teams last met at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Back then, the preliminary round ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams are still unbeaten at the European Championship in Germany.

The last time Germany won a competitive match against Spain was 36 years ago. It was the summer of 1988, the European Championships at home, and the goal was to reach the semi-finals, albeit in a different format. Germany needed at least a draw in the last group match in Munich on June 17. But they even managed to win. The main person responsible for this as a double goal scorer was Rudi Völler, now DFB sports director.

In Spain, 28-year-old Rodri from English champions Manchester City is the head of the team, which hardly reveals any weaknesses. “He is the centre of our game,” said de la Fuente in praise of the central midfielder. If there is anything to criticise about the Spaniards, it is that they sometimes get too carried away with their impressive combination football and lose their focus for a short time.
