Germany and Spain are taking the 2025 UEFA Nations League tournament by storm, with both European powerhouses earning shutout wins on Friday to claim a lead in their two-leg semifinals.

World No. 5 Germany took down No. 6 France 1-0 behind a goal from winger Klara Bühl, while a pair of braces from midfielder Alexia Putellas and forward Clàudia Pina lifted No. 1 Spain to a massive 4-0 win over No. 3 Sweden.

"The victory here feels incredibly good and also the way we played, we played football the way we wanted to," Bühl said in Düsseldorf following Friday's game. "Very, very strong match, I think the fans have noticed it."

"We expected a Sweden like the one we saw, very intense, but once again the team were very mature in many aspects of the game, and we're very happy with the performance," Spain defensive midfielder Laia Aleixandri said postgame.
