This is already Spain's deepest run in the women's European Championship, having lost in the quarterfinals in each of the past three editions. Germany finished runner-up in 2022 and was eliminated in the 2017 quarterfinals after winning the tournament six times in a row from 1995-2013.
"We have not been able to beat them, but we have been closer and closer to beating them," Spain coach Montse Tome said. "In the Olympic match, we had a chance to do so, it was good and now we are at another point.
The winner faces reigning champion England in the final in Basel on Sunday.

Germany's comeback win vs. France provides gameplan
Germany's gritty win over France has given the team a template for how they should play for the rest of the tournament, defender Rebecca Knaak told reporters on Tuesday ahead of her side's Women's Euro semi-final against Spain in Zurich.
The Germans had a player sent off and conceded a penalty early on against the French, but recovered to draw 1-1 after extra time and win the quarter-final shootout, pitting the eight-times champions against Spain on Wednesday.
"Really, it's the perfect example for passion, strength, mental strength, all these things that are characteristics that we possess," defender Rebecca Knaak told a press conference.
"Of course, on a tactical basis, we are prepared by the coach and the team, but the basic, fundamental characteristic has been built for the Spanish (game) in the French match." – Reuters
Spain ready to finally beat Germany
"I think they are also another team, they have another coach, but Germany is Germany and they have eight European Championships," Spain coach Montse Tome said. "Their essence is the same, regardless of who is in charge, and we are very clear about the game we want to play tomorrow, how we want to condition it and where we want to take it."
Spain won their three group stage games by a combined score of 14-3 before defeating a spirited Swiss side 2-0 in the quarter-finals.
"My feelings are good, full confidence in what we are creating, in the mentality we have, in the game we have played throughout the European Championship," Spain midfielder Alexia Putellas said. "It will be a very tough game, like any semi-final of a major tournament, but with maximum enthusiasm and maximum motivation to move forward and make history once again." – Reuters

Injury sidelines Andre De Grasse from Canadian championship, Audrey Leduc wins women's 100 metres
Andre De Grasse is skipping the Canadian championship in Ottawa due to tightness in his hamstring. De Grasse, a seven-time Olympic medallist and the anchor of Canada's 4x100-metre gold-medal team at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, said the injury will keep him from competing this weekend. "Unfortunately, I won't be competing this weekend," De Grasse told CTV News. "I picked up a little bit of tightness a couple of weeks ago with my hamstring so I'm going to play it safe and not do any extra damage I need to do. I'll just be here this weekend signing autographs, doing meet-and-greets, taking pictures and just hanging out with my fans and making sure everyone has a chance to see me." However, the 200m Olympic champion from 2021 said he'll be good to for the World Athletics Championship when the event takes play in Tokyo from Sept. 13-21. "I have about five-six weeks, so I should be good. It's just a little bit of tightness in my hamstring so I don't want to risk it and make it worse," De Grasse said. "I've been getting a lot of treatment from the team doctors here, making sure I'm ready to go when it matters." On the track, sprinter Audrey Leduc of Gatineau, Que., won the senior women's 100-metres championship on Friday night, clocking 11.06 to top the eight-runner final at the Canadian track and field championships. The 26-year-old Leduc, who holds the Canadian records in the 100-metres (10.95) and 200 metres (22.36) — both set in 2024 — finished just ahead of Olympian Sade McCreath (11.09) of Ajax, Ont., and Jacqueline Madogo (11.21) of Ottawa, who became the 200-metres national champion in 2023. Olympian sprinter Duan Asemota of Montreal won the men's 100-metre championship in a 10.12 photo finish, just edging out Aaron Brown (10.13) of Toronto, who was part of Canada's 4x100-metre relay team that won gold in 2024. Eliezer Adjibi (10.21) of Ottawa finished third.

Saquon Barkley among NFL stars who will join President Trump's council on Sports Nutrition
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will join Harrison Butker, Nick Bosa, Tony Romo, and Lawrence Taylor on President Trumps Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.' Saquon Barkley is a son, a fantastic father, the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year winner, and now a member of President Donald Trump's administration. In a move that will revive a standard from the Reagan, Clinton, and Bush era, Barkley will join Harrison Butker, Nick Bosa, Tony Romo, and Lawrence Taylor on President Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.' According to the Washington Post, President Trump on Thursday announced that the presidential fitness test, a hallmark of American physical education programs, will be making a comeback in public schools. The assessment was retired and replaced by a fitness program under the Obama administration. The presidential fitness test was initiated in the 1950s by a council established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower that was directed to improve the physical fitness of American youths, in response to fears they were falling behind their European counterparts when it came to athleticism. The project is an alternative way to get anti-obesity drugs to Medicare and Medicaid patients, after the administration said in April that neither program would cover GLP-1s for weight loss. In doing so, it scrapped a 2024 Biden administration proposal for the programs to start covering GLP-1s for patients with obesity. Several high-profile athletes — all of whom have existing ties to Trump — attended the ceremony and will serve on the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. The attendees included professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau, who will chair the council; controversial National Football League kicker Harrison Butker; World Wrestling Entertainment mainstay Paul 'Triple H' Levesque; golfer Annika Sorenstam; and football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor. The Eagles running back wasn't in attendance, but will be joined by golfers Jack Nicklaus, Nelly Korda, and Gary Player (who was also awarded the Medal of Freedom alongside Sorenstam); Tony Romo, Nick Bosa, and Barkley; legendary hockey player Wayne Gretzky; and baseball player Mariano Rivera. The list also includes NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, whom Trump repeatedly scrutinized during his first presidential term. Barkley was criticized during the off-season for spending time with President Trump on a golf outing prior to the Eagles' ring celebration.
