HUGE BLOCK
And just like that, Germany almost take the lead. Dabritz's shot is heading for the top corner until Bronze makes a vital intervention, heading the ball over the bar. It's all for nothing though as the offside flag then goes up.

MORE DANGER
Here come England again, Walsh threading a dangerous ball through the left to find Mead. She drives to the byline and manages to squeeze in a cross, it's cut out by Frohms before the offside flag is raised.

SCARE FOR GERMANY
Germany are clearly nervous and Huth makes a mistake to concede the first corner of the game. Mead's delivery is cleared but Bronze keeps it alive, delivering a cross into the middle. With White applying pressure, Frohms drops it but quickly collects it on the bounce.

BIG CHANCE FOR ENGLAND!
Almost the perfect start for the Lionesses as Kirby drives down the left, cuts onto her right foot and delivers an inch-perfect cross for White, who has peeled away from her marker. She connects with a thumping header, but it's straight at Germany goalkeeper Frohms.

DON'T EVEN MENTION PENS!
Penalties? Don't even mention it. As everyone knows, England have an infamous history with the dreaded shootout.
You might be relieved to hear, then, that a Women's Euros final has not required penalties to decide the recipient of the trophy since 1984 – when England were on the wrong end of 4-3 shoot-out. Because of course they were!

'WE'VE MADE OUR DREAM A REALITY' - VOSS-TECKLENBURG
Germany boss Martina Voss-Tecklenburg has also been speaking to UEFA.com ahead of the game.
"It really has been a journey, one that started after the 2019 World Cup where we wanted to start fresh," said Voss-Tecklenburg.
"We brought in many new players in that time and then had four weeks of preparation for this tournament.
"We marched our way through a group with three strong opponents. Now, we’ve made our dream reality and will get to play the final in Wembley."

MORE HISTORY MADE
So, Wiegman sticks with the same team once again. That is the sixth consecutive game in which she has decided to make no changes. And that's a record: no other national team manager has picked the same team for six consecutive games at the Euros - in either the men or women's competition.
