Shortly before the European Championship semi-final, the Spaniard raves about Berger: "One of the best in the world"

On Wednesday evening, the German women's national team will face Spain in the semifinals of the European Championship. Historically, the German women have the upper hand here, having won five of their eight matches and never lost a game against Spain. Therefore, the Spanish women view Germany as an honorable opponent, even calling the German team the "Bestia Negra," or "Black Beast."

Midfielder Alexia Putellas Segura said in a press conference: "Playing against the best team is a pleasure because it pushes you to the limits, and because of our mentality, pushing yourself to the limits is what we like most. Berger is one of those players who pushes you to do that. She is one of the best goalkeepers in the world with a lot of experience, and I'm sure she will push us to give our best."

German goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger proved herself particularly impressive in the quarterfinal match against France. Firstly, with an incredible save that prevented Germany from conceding an own goal, and secondly, in the penalty shootout after extra time. Berger not only saved two goals, but also scored the fifth herself, demonstrating not only composure in stressful situations but also great talent.

The match between Germany and Spain will take place this evening at 9 p.m. and will be broadcast live on ARD.
