Madrid, Spain: Spain defended their women’s Nations League title with a 3-0 second leg win over Germany yesterday, following a goalless draw last week.

Claudia Pina’s second-half brace, either side of a Vicky Lopez strike, secured 2023 World Cup winners Spain a third international trophy.

A record crowd on home soil for Spain of 55,843 at Atletico Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium watched Sonia Bermudez’s side claim the first silverware of the new coach’s reign.

Spain were shorn of three-time Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati after she fractured her leg on Sunday in training, but swept to victory with a convincing display in the capital.

The Euro 2025 runners-up relied on goalkeeper Cata Coll to keep their hopes alive during the first leg in Kaiserslautern but dominated Christian Wueck’s visitors in the decisive second leg. Esther Gonzalez fired narrowly wide early on and Ann-Katrin Berger saved Alexia Putellas’s header.
