Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz congratulated the German soccer players on reaching the European Championship final and hopes to be able to experience the title win live in the stadium in London on Sunday.
"That was a great achievement," wrote the SPD politician on Thursday night on Twitter. "I'm looking forward to going to London and supporting the German team in their dream final against the hosts England at Wembley."
As in the previous knockout games, Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser (SPD) also wants to be in the stands, as a spokeswoman for the "Rheinische Post" confirmed.
The team of national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg had previously beaten France 2-1 (1-1) in the semi-finals of the European Championships in Milton Keynes. They now meet the English selection at London's Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
