<\/a>King Charles congratulates England<\/p>\n

The King has issued a statement congratulating England on their triumph \u2013 and setting them a new challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant \u2018football\u2019s coming home\u2019. As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell done, Lionesses. The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Wiegman: Euro triumph was chaos<\/p>\n

“We said we can win by any means and that’s what we have shown again today. I am so proud of the team and the staff. It is incredible.<\/p>\n

“I just can’t believe it, but I have a medal around my neck and we have a trophy. It has been the most chaotic tournament on the pitch – all the challenges we had on the pitch against our opponents.<\/p>\n

“From the first game it was chaos. Losing your first game and becoming European champions is incredible. Football is chaos.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>Wiegman hails England’s spirit<\/p>\n

Sarina Wiegman hailed England’s team spirit as she savoured the “chaos” of their successful Euro 2025 defence.<\/p>\n

Wiegman’s side lost their opener to France and needed extra time in all of their games after the group stage in Switzerland, but emerged victorious in the most nail-biting and dramatic fashion.<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old, who has now won the last three Women’s European Championships \u2013 previously with Netherlands in 2017 and England in 2022 \u2013 said on BBC One: “I can’t believe it. The word ‘team’ really described who we are, a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Bronze: We never stopped believing<\/p>\n

The Chelsea defender admitted the tournament in Switzerland had been one of the most demanding of her career.<\/p>\n

“I do not think we ever stopped believing in ourselves. There was a lot of noise from the outside, but we stayed united and gave everything,” Bronze said.<\/p>\n

“To win it on penalties shows just how inspiring this team is to be part of.<\/p>\n

“Today we showed resilience. We have shown everyone that you should always believe in yourself, no matter what others say.” <\/p>\n

<\/a>Bronze: I played through the pain<\/p>\n

England defender Lucy Bronze revealed that she had played the entire tournament with a fractured tibia.<\/p>\n

“I have actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia, and then I have hurt my knee on my other leg,” Bronze said on Sunday after helping the Lionesses to edge Spain 3-1 on penalties after the final ended 1-1 following extra time.<\/p>\n

“That’s why I got a lot of praise from the girls after the Sweden game, as I’ve been in a lot of pain. If that’s what it takes to play for England, that’s what I’ll do.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>We deserved more, says Spain coach Tome<\/p>\n

Spain took a first-half lead but England equalised through Alessia Russo and battled superbly to take the game to a 1-1 draw and a shootout.<\/p>\n

“I think we were better, but football is a sport where the best team doesn’t always win.England are an excellent national team, they showed their level during the tournament. They draw, and then they defend themselves to get the penalties,” Tome said.<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old coach could not hide her disappointment that her squad had come up short of another major title.<\/p>\n

“This is our profession. what we worked for, what they worked for deserved a different ending,” she said.<\/p>\n

“That’s why today I have the feeling that we almost reached it, but it’s gone. I really value all the work done — we wrote history during the whole tournament, and the team was good,” Tome added<\/p>\n

<\/a>We deserved more, says Spain coach Tome <\/p>\n

Spain coach Montse Tome was left ruing her side’s inability to take their chances as the world champions fell to a penalty shootout by England in the Women’s Euros final on Sunday after they dominated a game that finished 1-1 after 120 minutes.<\/p>\n

The Spaniards had 24 attempts on goal, but England’s grit and determination dragged them to a shootout where they came up short, failing to convert three of their four spot-kicks as Chloe Kelly fired England to victory.<\/p>\n

“I think this team deserved more. I think we worked hard for a long time to reach this moment, to reach this final against a high-level national team as an event and what we saw in the game makes me think that the team deserved it,” Tome told a media conference.<\/p>\n

“This is a sport, you must know how to lose, and today we missed the penalties.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>England only had one key trait over Spain \u2013 but it led them to Euro 2025 glory<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our chief football writer, Miguel Delaney, writing from the stadium in Basel:<\/p>\n

History repeated, once as another triumph, twice with force. Chloe Kelly again decided the European Championship for England, this time with a penalty of such ferocity that it fittingly reflected the fight and spirit of this team.<\/p>\n

It was proper grit, proper character\u2026 Yes, proper England, who remain European champions. Sarina Wiegman\u2019s side produced another miracle in this tournament, as she claimed a third successive winners\u2019 medal in the competition.<\/p>\n

These are all historic feats in themselves, but they are elevated by the manner of this glory. It went to even deeper wells of resolve than Kelly winning it in extra time at Wembley against Germany three years ago<\/a>. And to manage that against this world champion Spanish side, in this way, is the best illustration of this team\u2019s spirit. It shouldn\u2019t really have been possible given how they went behind.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Next up!<\/p>\n

Once this victory sinks in, attention will soon turn to the 2027 World Cup in Brazil! That\u2019s just the way it is in football…<\/p>\n

That tournament takes place between 24 June and 25 July. <\/p>\n
