Spain Faces Final Without Bonmatí
Spain's women's football team is getting ready for a big final game against Germany.
But their star player, Aitana Bonmatí, got hurt during practice and can't play.
The coach and team captain say it's sad, but they'll try their best to win the game for her.
The first game ended in a tie, so the final game is very important.
The coach says other players can step up and do a great job.
They want to make Bonmatí proud and win the title for her.
Spain's Aitana Bonmatí fractured her left fibula during training, ruling her out of the Women's Nations League final against Germany.
The final is scheduled for Tuesday in Madrid, following a 0-0 draw in the first leg in Germany.
Spain coach Sonia Bermúdez described Bonmatí's absence as a 'huge loss' but expressed confidence in the team's ability to adapt.
Captain Irene Paredes acknowledged the team's disappointment but emphasized their readiness to move forward with other players.
Bermúdez, who took over the team in August, is seeking her first title as head coach.
