Spain Defend Women's Nations League Title Against Germany After 5-0 Semi-Final Aggregate Win

Alexia Putellas played a crucial role in leading Spain to the final of the UEFA Women's Nations League by scoring the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory over Sweden in the second leg of the semi-final, securing a 5-0 aggregate win. Spain had already dominated the first leg with a 4-0 win, with Putellas and Claudia Pina each scoring twice. The final will be contested over two legs on November 28 and December 2, with Spain set to face either Germany or France, following Germany's 2-2 draw with France in the second leg and a 3-2 aggregate win. Spain's coach chose to field a strong lineup in the semi-final's second leg, managing the game strategically to maintain their advantage. Despite a more organized Swedish defense in the second leg, Spain controlled possession and created key chances, ultimately securing the win with Putellas' clinical finish in the 75th minute. The final's second leg will be held at Atletico Madrid's Estadio Metropolitano, where Spain hopes to defend their title with strong support from their fans.
