England’s Lionesses will battle it out against Germany in the final of Euro 2022 at Wembley on Sunday.

It comes after the Germans defeated France 2-1 in their semi-final in Milton Keynes.

Germany went ahead in the 40th minute courtesy of an Alexandra Popp goal, before France levelled matters just before half-time through a Merle Frohms own goal.

The side then got their second again from Popp in the 76th minute, which ultimately proved decisive.

On Tuesday, the England women’s football team secured their spot in the last two after thrashing Sweden 4-0 at Bramall Lane.

Goals from Beth Mead, Lucy Bronze, Alessia Russo and Fran Kirby saw them power to victory in Sheffield against the highest-ranked team in the competition.

England will be trying to get their hands on major silverware for the first time in their history when they play at a sold-out Wembley Stadium at 5pm this Sunday.

They have never won a World Cup or European Championship title and the last time they were in a major final was in 2009 when they lost to Germany in the Euros.

Meanwhile, the Lionesses have made their first public appearance since their semi-final triumph.

They gave a jubilant wave as they appeared outside their hotel in southwest London.

“We want to inspire the nation. I think that’s what we’re doing,” said head coach Sarina Wiegman, who will lead her players out at Wembley.

“And we want to make a difference, so we hope that we got everyone so enthusiastic and that at the end the whole country is proud of us and that even more girls and boys will start playing football.”

Following their semi-final win, the Lionesses received widespread praise, including from the Duke of Cambridge, Boris Johnson, Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney and Gary Lineker.

Fans celebrated in Trafalgar Square after the final whistle, and London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced the final would see an increased fan zone provided.

Free access will be provided for 7,000 fans on Sunday, 2,000 more than the semi-final’s screening capacity.
