It has been a journey to remember at UEFA Women's EURO 2013, but after 24 matches already watched by a record 175,000 people, the stage is now set for this afternoon's final at a sold-out Friends Arena in Solna.

Defending champions Germany and Norway are left standing and, as the competition's two most successful nations, it promises to be a showdown to remember. Ahead of the match, UEFA.com caught up with Norway defender Maren Mjelde and Germany winger Lena Lotzen, familiar Frauen Bundesliga opponents with 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam and FC Bayern München respectively.
