England will face Germany in the final of Euro 2022 at Wembley on Sunday.

Germany have won 21 of the 27 meetings between the teams, including the 2009 European Championship final, but Sarina Wiegman’s England were victorious the last time they met earlier this year.

Here, the PA news agency looks back at the last five meetings between the sides.

Germany 2 England 1 (Mar 2016)

Germany 1 England 0 (Mar 2017)

Mark Sampson’s side slipped to a narrow defeat at the SheBelieves Cup in Washington.

Anja Mittag scored the winner just before half-time with a neat finish from 12 yards.

Jordan Nobbs, Demi Stokes and Jill Scott had chances to equalise in a frantic second half but European champions Germany held out.

England 2 Germany 2 (Mar 2018)

White scored a brace as England twice fought back for a draw at the SheBelieves Cup in Phil Neville’s second match at the helm.

They fell behind in New York to Hasret Kayikci’s opener before White was credited with the equaliser after the ball deflected in off her.

An own goal from Millie Bright put Germany back in front before Ellen White’s breakaway goal ensured a battling draw.

England 1 Germany 2 (Nov 2019)

Klara Buhl’s late winner ensured Germany spoiled the party in front of a record-breaking crowd of 77,768 at Wembley.

White had hauled England level after Alexandra Popp headed an eighth-minute opener.

But Buhl’s low shot beat Mary Earps in the 90th minute to condemn Neville’s side to a fifth defeat in seven matches.

England 3 Germany 1 (Feb 2022)

England lifted the Arnold Clark Cup after late goals from Bright and Fran Kirby secured victory at Molineux.
