 ‘It is outstanding. The quality is insane.

England reached the final with a 4-0 demolition of Sweden at Bramall Lane on Tuesday before Germany beat France 2-1 the following night.

‘Most important is the face women’s football showed,’ added Klopp.

‘It is a fantastic game. Women’s football has exploded over the last few years. It is technically and tactically on a really high level and I love watching it.’

Sarina Wiegman’s side will host their old rivals in London, hoping to win the first major tournament in their history by beating Germany for just the third time ever. 

Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s team, meanwhile, have a formidable record at the European Championship, winning an astonishing eight of the nine tournaments between 1989 and 2013.
