“It was great to have had to do it twice for the first time,” cried Chloe Kelly full-time. Sarina Wiegman’s English Lioness is the winner of the Euro 2025. Because of consecutive continental competition, they are European champions.
It’s safe to say that this summer, women put the maximum level of stress, beat Sweden with penalties, need extra time against Italy, score in the fashion of the final, and need another gunshot against Spain in the final.
Arsenal’s Mariona Caldente gave the World Cup winner a lead, but another gunner from Alesia Russo fought back. The two teams could not be separated until two women who already had many clutch moments in this competition stood up to it.
Goalkeepers Hannah Hampton and Chloe Kelly were gunfighting heroes, and Kelly fired a winning position kick into the house.

Russo equals England
After Lauren James stepped into the first half with an injury, that meant that the Kelly woman was introduced to the left.
As always, she not only scored a winning penalty, but also had an incredible impact on Russo supplying a perfect cross for the first inch to get home.
Speaking full-time, Wiegman was totally euphoric: “I can’t believe it. The word ‘team’ really explains who we are. We said we can win at any measure. That’s what we’re doing today, we’re so proud of our team and staff. That’s incredible.
“It was the most chaotic tournament on the pitch. It was all the challenges on the pitch against your opponent. It was chaos from the first game. Losing the first game and becoming a European champion is incredible.

An English spot kick drama for Kelly to win from the spot
It was Kelly who was given a late penalty against Italy in the semi-finals.
She stepped back into the moment she won Sunday at Basel, but she never missed it. Certainly, she didn’t slam the ball into the house.
After that moment, the Arsenal forward was on the Cloud Nine. Kelly told the BBC:
“Incredible, not just this team, but the staff behind us. 23 players and all the staff behind us. Salina Weegman did it again. It would be incredible. It would be crazy. We deserve it, so we hope that the whole of us will support us and show love to all of these girls.”
