Being the most skillful and technically best team at the UEFA Women's Euros was not enough to get Spain the title on Sunday.

(Reuters) -Four players each from both finalists were named in UEFA's team of the tournament for the Women's Euro on Monday, as Spain's golden boot winner Esther Gonzalez was sidelined in favour of England strikers Alessia Russo and Chloe Kelly.

England won Euro 2025 and retained their European crown after beating Spain on penalties. Spain dominated much of the game and took the lead midway through the first half after Mariona Caldentey found the net. England, however, dug in and equalised after the break when Alessia Russo headed home Chloe Kelly’s cross.
