England’s Lionesses have etched their names even deeper into football history after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Spain secured their second consecutive European Championship title at Euro 2025.
In a nail-biting final on foreign soil, Chloe Kelly once again delivered the decisive moment just as she did at Wembley in 2022, coolly converting the winning penalty after Spain missed three in a row.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was pivotal, saving two of Spain’s spot-kicks and keeping England’s dream alive.
This is the first time an England team, male or female has lifted a major trophy abroad, solidifying manager Sarina Wiegman’s legendary status.
The Dutch tactician now boasts three straight European titles, having previously won with the Netherlands in 2017 before leading England to back-to-back glory in 2022 and 2025.
