The Lionesses are again champions of Europe after outlasting World Cup champions Spain to win Women's EURO after penalties in Switzerland.

Lionesses super-sub Chloe Kelly is among the England quartet to feature in the Euro 2025 team of the tournament after guiding her side to back-to-back European Championships.

More than 16 million people in the United Kingdom watched England’s second consecutive European Championship final win on Sunday, just over a million shy of the 2022 final.

The remarkable journey of England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton from eye surgeries to being the star of two penalty shootouts for a European title-winning team was described as “a fairy tale” on Sunday.

You could argue that there was no other way England could have concluded their historic, victorious European championship run than in the most dramatic of styles. They have become accustomed to coming back from behind in a game;

England are set to give Lauren James as long as possible to prove her fitness for the European Championship final. Chelsea forward James was brought off for Beth Mead at half-time during Tuesday’s semi-final against Italy and was seen with ice around her right ankle during the second half.

England hero Chloe Kelly has been accused of making a ‘cocky gesture’ at the end of the dramatic Euro 2025 final penalty shootout against Spain. Arsenal forward Kelly struck England’s winning penalty in Basel after the final finished 1-1 after extra-time.

Chloe Kelly stood in front of the England fans, arms out wide, and waited for her team-mates to mob her. Not for the first time at Euros 2025, Kelly was England’s hero as she delivered when it mattered most.
