England, as has been the case for much of Euro 2025, were not at their best in this final - but somehow they found a way to win. Spain were technically the superior side. Their attempted passes were over 750 and nearly doubled that of England’s. They had 22 shots to England’s eight.

By edging out Spain in a penalty shootout in the European championship final, England’s women’s team cemented its position as the standard-bearer for English soccer.

After a European Championship win like no other, the Lionesses paraded their trophy infront of thousands of fans in London.
