⭐️ England v Spain: the three key women of the match 👑 | OneFootball

At the end of the suspense, the Lionesses clinched Euro 2025 after a nerve-wracking penalty shootout (1-1, 3-1 pens). Focus on the three players who lit up the night in Basel.

🥉 Mariona Caldentey

Spain believed, and it was largely thanks to her. Positioned in support of the attack, Mariona Caldentey opened the scoring with a perfectly placed header after a precise cross from Ona Batlle. Present at major events, she has often been the Spanish spark... but unfortunately missed her penalty at the end of the match. Cruel.

🥈 Chloe Kelly

Already a heroine in 2022, Chloe Kelly once again turned a final around. Entering the game early after Lauren James's injury, she immediately put pressure on the Spanish defense. It was she who placed the ball on Alessia Russo's head for the equalizer, and then calmly converted the decisive penalty. Luxury joker, immediate impact. Clutch Queen.

🥇 Hannah Hampton

Simply decisive. The English goalkeeper was imperial during the penalty shootout, saving two crucial shots from Caldentey and Bonmatí. Solid throughout the match, she reassured her defense and offered England a second consecutive European crown. Player of the match, golden wall. Nothing more to add.
