Olaf Scholz also congratulated the team via Twitter. “It was a thrilling tournament and the whole of Germany is proud of this team!” he wrote, among other things.
Nancy Faeser also posted a photo on Twitter posing with the players. Under her blazer, the interior minister wears a shirt worn by goalkeeper Merle Frohms (27). “I was just able to congratulate the DFB women after the game on being runners-up in the European Championship,” she wrote. We’ve seen top-flight football throughout the Euro. And next year the World Cup is already waiting”
