Germany dominated the team of the tournament for the Women's Euro 2022 despite losing 2-1 to England in Sunday's Wembley final.

Both teams had won every match en route to a highly anticipated decider at England's national stadium in front of a record crowd for a European Championship match, with 87,192 in attendance.

An extra-time winner from Chloe Kelly proved the difference as the Lionesses claimed their first major title, dealing rivals Germany their first defeat in nine Women's Euros finals.

Beth Mead was forced off in the final but had still done enough to be named player of the tournament, also edging the top scorer award on assists ahead of Alexandra Popp – who missed the match following an injury in the warm-up.

Yet there was room for both superstar performers in the official team of the tournament.

Mead was among four England players, with goalkeeper Mary Earps, captain Leah Williamson and midfielder pass master Keira Walsh each also recognised.

Meanwhile, Germany had five players included; along with Popp, defenders Giulia Gwinn and Martina Hegering made the cut, as did young player of the tournament Lena Oberdorf.

Next to Mead and Popp in the front three was Klara Buhl, even though coronavirus kept her out of both the semi-finals and the final.

France were beaten by Germany in the last four and were represented by defender Sakina Karchaoui, while Spain lost to both finalists but still had Aitana Bonmati make the XI.

Women's Euro 2022 team of the tournament:

Mary Earps (England); Giulia Gwinn (Germany), Leah Williamson (England), Martina Hegering (Germany), Sakina Karchaoui (France); Keira Walsh (England), Lena Oberdorf (Germany), Aitana Bonmati (Spain); Beth Mead (England), Alexandra Popp (Germany), Klara Buhl (Germany).

Germany will be without influential winger Klara Buhl for Wednesday's Euro 2022 semi-final clash with France after she tested positive for COVID-19.

Bayern Munich star Buhl has featured in all four of Die Nationalelf's fixtures at the tournament, opening the scoring in their 2-0 group-stage win against Spain.

Buhl, who has 13 goals in 28 appearances for Germany, also laid on Lina Magull's opener in a 2-0 quarter-final win over Austria last time out, before striking the crossbar in an entertaining contest that saw them woodwork hit five times.

An update issued via Germany's social media accounts on Tuesday read: "Klara Buhl has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss the semi-final vs France. 

"She has been isolated but is not currently displaying symptoms. The rest of the team and staff have returned additional negative tests."

Buhl's absence represents a significant blow for the eight-time European champions, who have lost two of their last three meetings with Les Bleues.
