MARTINA VOSS-TECKLENBURG believes Sunday's European Championship Final between England and Germany will be a "classic", but warned the hosts: "Sweden showed us how to hurt you!"
Germany booked their place in the Wembley showpiece with a 2-1 victory over France here at Milton Keynes last night, captain Alexandra Popp scoring twice either side of Merle Frohms's unfortunate own-goal.
The result sets up a mouthwatering clash between the old rivals after England hammered Sweden 4-0 in the opening semi-final, though the scoreline did not tell the full story, as the Lionesses relied on two crucial saves from goalkeeper Mary Earps in the nervy opening exchanges, while the Swedes also hit the bar before Beth Mead's opener set the home side on their way to a famous victory.
