Prolific Popp sends Germany into Euro 2022 final against England

MILTON KEYNES, UK: Germany captain Alexandra Popp said she is savoring a starring role at Euro 2022 all the more following years of injury struggles after scoring twice to beat France 2-1 in Wednesday’s semifinal.

Popp’s side will face hosts England in front of an expected record crowd for a women’s Euro match of 87,000 at Wembley on Sunday.

Just making it to the Euro was a success for the Wolfsburg striker after missing the two previous European Championships through injury.
