Overview
- Germany controlled long stretches in Kaiserslautern and created the clearer chances but failed to convert.
- Barcelona goalkeeper Cata Coll denied Klara Bühl and Franziska Kett, and Irene Paredes cleared Jule Brand's effort off the line.
- Both sides struck the woodwork, with Esther González hitting a post for Spain and Bühl later clipping the upright as Brand skimmed the bar.
- The title will be settled on Tuesday at Atlético Madrid's Metropolitano Stadium in the second leg in Madrid.
- Spain arrive as reigning world champions and Nations League holders, while Germany seek a first major trophy since 2016 after the DFB's recent €100 million pledge to professionalize the Women's Bundesliga.
