Coach Christian Wueck expressed pride in his team's performance, particularly for holding out against World Champions Spain for so long. He emphasized that this setback would serve as a foundation for continued development, with their focus now shifting to the Nations League.
Defender Rebecca Knaak echoed this sentiment, stating that the match proved Germany is on the right track, showcasing courage and self-confidence even against a top-tier opponent. Midfielder Sara Daebritz acknowledged the disappointment of conceding a late goal but highlighted the team's "very promising future," citing the presence of many talented young players who had an outstanding tournament. Both players and coach are confident Germany will learn from this experience and "come back stronger."
