Spain Triumphs Over Germany 3-0 to Win 2025 Women's Nations League Final

The 2025 Women's Nations League final concluded with Spain defeating Germany 3-0 in the second leg at Madrid's Estadio Metropolitano, following a 0-0 draw in the first leg. This decisive victory secured Spain their second Nations League title and third overall in women's football history.

The Spanish side dominated the match, with Cláudia Pina scoring twice in the 61st and 74th minutes and Vicky López adding another goal in the 68th minute. The match was witnessed by a record-breaking crowd of 55,843 spectators, including Spanish King Felipe, marking a historic attendance for a women's international football match in Spain.

Germany, coached by Christian Wück, had missed opportunities in the first leg and struggled to contain Spain's attacking prowess in Madrid. Midfielder Sjoeke Nüsken acknowledged post-match that while Germany could compete with Spain, they needed to be more efficient in front of goal. Despite efforts and a previously dominant performance against Spain in Kaiserslautern, the German team was unable to break Spain's hold on the game.

Spanish coach Sonia Bermudez, adjusting her lineup due to injuries, orchestrated a commanding performance that not only ensured victory but also triggered widespread celebration in the Spanish media. Outlets such as "Sport," "AS," "El Pais," "Mundo Deportivo," and "Marca" highlighted the historic significance of the win and the standout contributions of Spain’s key players.

This defeat extends Germany's title drought since their Olympic gold in 2016 and underscores Spain's rise as a formidable force in women's international football.

The final thus marked a significant moment for the sport, with Spain's success celebrated nationally and Germany reflecting on areas for improvement as they look to future competitions.
