Spain fought back to survive on penalties against Colombia in the quarter-finals but their perfect Olympic run and hopes of a gold medal were shattered when they crashed out 4-2 to Brazil in the semi-finals in Marseille. "When you lose, the most important thing is to learn," Spain midfielder and Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati said after Tuesday's defeat.
The Germans will have additional motivation to prevail over the Spaniards and help their 73-year-old coach Horst Hrubesch clinch a medal in his final game at the helm.
