Reaction as England successfully defend their European title with a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Spain in Switzerland.

Breaking down the approach that enabled the Lionesses to take the Euro 2025 final to a penalty shootout, which they won

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.

Despite being crowned world champions, the Spanish women's team doesn't have many followers - with the Luis Rubiales scandal overshadowing the win.

England are hoping for redemption in Sunday's Euro 2025 final as they take on Spain in a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final.

Chloe Kelly has thanked everyone that wrote her off for giving her the fuel to fire England to European glory. Kelly was England’s hero on Sunday night, scoring the winning penalty as they beat Spain to win Euro 2025.
