Spain 3-0 Germany (3-0 agg): Barcelona duo score to clinch Nations League title
Two goals from Claudia Pina and one from Vicky Lopez ensured Spain retained their Women's Nations League title, beating Germany.
Spain retained their Women's Nations League title with a 3-0 aggregate success over Germany, with all the goals coming via Barcelona players in Tuesday's second leg in Madrid.
Claudia Pina scored twice while her club-mate Vicky Lopez was also on target at the Estadio Metropolitano, as La Roja pulled clear after battling to a goalless draw away from home last week.
Pina's side-footed effort from the edge of the area squirmed past goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger just after the hour mark, after Spain had dominated the first half without reward.
And their lead was doubled within seven minutes as Lopez sauntered inside from the right flank before curling a left-footed effort into the far corner, with Berger unable to get anything more than a fingertip to the ball.
But Spain, who have seen their star midfielder Aitana Bonmati ruled out for several months due to a broken leg, saved the pick of their goals for last as Pina drove forward before unleashing a powerful, right-footed effort from near the edge of the D, which arrowed into the roof of the net.
Reigning world champions Spain have now won both of the first two editions of the Nations League, having defeated France 2-0 to secure the 2023-24 crown.
Data Debrief: Deserved success for Spain as Pina passes double figures
Spain were put under plenty of pressure in last week's first leg, with goalkeeper Cata Coll making five crucial saves to keep it goalless.
However, she only had to make two stops this time out as Sonia Bermudez's hosts tallied up 14 shots and 1.13 expected goals (xG), compared to Germany's seven shots and 0.89 xG.
Pina finished the 2025-26 Nations League with 11 goal involvements (eight goals, three assists).
Only Israel's Sharon Beck (nine in 2023-24) has bettered that goal tally in a single campaign, while Belgium's Tessa Wullaert (12 in 2023-24) holds the record for combined goals and assists in a single edition.
