The England Lionesses have defied all expectations to secure a historic Euro 2025 title, defeating world champions Spain in a nail-biting penalty shootout at St. Jakob-Park.
This monumental victory marks the first time an England team has won a major trophy abroad and the first time a senior English side has successfully defended a major title.
Manager Sarina Wiegman further cemented her legendary status, claiming her third consecutive European title and her fifth major final in a row.
The team’s journey was fraught with challenges, from pre-tournament doubts to conceding first in crucial matches, yet their unwavering belief shone through.
Lucy Bronze, playing the entire tournament with a fractured tibia, embodied the squad’s incredible resilience.
“This year it was meant for England,” she stated, reflecting the collective determination that saw them overcome deficits against Sweden and Italy before their final triumph.
Wiegman praised the team’s “incredible togetherness” and their refusal to give up, noting how they consistently came from behind.
