A potentially career defining match that could make history for Spain. A clash between two of the best teams in the world. These are some of the ingredients of this afternoon's Spain-Germany match in Lyon, two top level international teams of women's football looking to round off their Games with a bronze medal after the football competition that ends this Sunday and which has been a firstvever in the history of our women's football.

It will be a tough and intense clash, as one would expect from a match that decides an Olympic medal. Germany are the current European runners-up and an opponent Spain has never beaten, but there is a first time for everything. And what better day to do it than when you are playing for your first medal at the Olympic Games. Montse Tomé's team are used to being first to make history. And today they have another opportunity.

The defeat against Brazil is now a thing of the past, it has already been put behind the squad. We came here for an Olympic medal and this Friday brings the opportunity to get it, to continue adding to the legend and be part of the national medal tally in Paris 2024. The day we have all been waiting for is here.

The match will be played in Lyon, the same venue as the quarter-final against Colombia, and will be played in front of more than 15,000 people supporting from the stands and all of Spain cheering on from their sofas back home. From 15:00 in the afternoon the moment to become bronze medalists arrives.
