Conclusion
Spain’s victory over Germany is a testament to their quality as a team. They have shown resilience, determination, and skill throughout the tournament. Germany, on the other hand, will be disappointed to have come so close to reaching the final. They will now have to regroup and focus on the 2026 World Cup.
