Euro 2025 (F): Why is Giulia Gwinn crying?

Germany kicked off their UEFA Women's Euro 2025 campaign in style with a 2-0 win over Poland on Friday night. But behind this opening victory, a somber moment cast a shadow over the German camp: the tears of their captain, Giulia Gwinn.

The match, part of the opening round in Group C, started well for the Mannschaft. Solid and disciplined, the Germans took control in the second half thanks to goals from Brand and Müller.

But in the 34th minute, the stadium held its breath. Giulia Gwinn, a cornerstone of the squad and Bayern Munich star, collapsed clutching her knee. Carried off the pitch in tears, it was clear the injury was serious.

According to the German Football Association, it's a knee injury. The exact diagnosis is still pending, but the early images are concerning. Gwinn, who has already suffered two serious cruciate ligament injuries in her career, could once again be sidelined for several months. A major blow for Germany, despite the three points.
