England are champions of Europe once again. In a tense and emotionally charged Women’s Euro 2025 final, the Lionesses defeated Spain 3–1 in a penalty shootout after a 1–1 draw at full time. The result marks back-to-back Euro titles for England, who first won the tournament in 2022. This latest triumph came in front of a packed crowd in Basel, Switzerland, and showcased the nerves, resilience, and clinical execution that have defined this golden generation of English women’s football.
Spain struck first in the 21st minute through Mariona Caldentey, who finished coolly after a clever sequence of play. For much of the first half, La Roja looked in control, pressing with intensity and limiting England’s attacking rhythm. But Sarina Wiegman’s side didn’t panic. The equalizer came in the 64th minute when Alessia Russo powered home a header from a perfectly placed Lauren James cross. From there, the match grew tighter, with both sides missing key chances to seal it in regulation.
Extra time brought even more drama. Spain nearly grabbed the winner when Aitana Bonmatí’s curling shot hit the post. England also came close, with substitute Rachel Daly forcing a save in the final minutes. With the match deadlocked, it came down to penalties—a scenario England fans have dreaded for decades, but one this team has come to embrace.
In the shootout, goalkeeper Hannah Hampton delivered when it mattered most, saving two of Spain’s three attempts. Chloe Kelly, once again the hero as she was in Euro 2022, calmly slotted the winning penalty, sending the England bench into wild celebrations. The 26-year-old forward now holds a unique place in English football history, having delivered the decisive spot-kick in two consecutive Euro finals.
This win was about more than a trophy. It was revenge for England’s quarter-final loss to Spain in the 2023 Women’s World Cup and a statement of dominance in European football. Under Wiegman, England have now lost just twice in major tournaments and are developing a reputation not just for flair, but for mental strength and consistency on the biggest stages.
Spain, for their part, were gracious in defeat and remain one of the most technically gifted teams in the world. But on this night, England's experience, belief, and execution under pressure made the difference. For England, the road to a second straight title was anything but easy, but their ability to rise in the most difficult moments has solidified their legacy as one of the greatest women’s teams Europe has ever seen.
