Low: Wary of Spain
Germany coach Joachim Low is expecting a tough encounter against Spain in the final of Euro 2008.
Spain set up a meeting with Germany in Sunday's final with a clinical 3-0 win over Russia on Thursday, 24 hours after Germany's hard-fought 3-2 victory against Turkey.
Low was impressed by Spain's performance against Russia and he is wary of the threat they pose in Sunday's showpiece in Vienna.
"The Spaniards put in an impressive performance," Low told the DFB's official website.
"They have played the whole tournament at the highest level and have been technically very good.
"They proved in impressive fashion that they were the better team against the Russians and they have a more varied game than the Portuguese.
"Their midfielders constantly change positions and keep getting forward - all of which makes them hard to work out."
