Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll hits back at England star Hannah Hampton's claim that she threw her cheat sheet into the CROWD during Euros final penalty shootout
England won the shootout in Switzerland two weeks ago, with Alex Greenwood, Niamh Charles and Chloe Kelly all converting from the spot as the Lionesses retained their European crown.
Hampton saved two penalties from Mariona Caldentey and Aitana Bonmati, while Salma Paralluelo missed.
England goalkeeper Hampton stated during an interview that she noticed that Coll's cheat sheet for the penalty shootout containing information about England's players was on her water bottle so she picked it up and threw it to the fans.
However, that claim has now been disputed by Coll, who wrote on X: 'Okay, okay, calm down, calm down. At least if it were true...'.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Hampton said: 'The Spanish keeper had it (the penalty information) on her bottle, so I thought when she was going in goal, I'd just pick it up and chuck it into the English fans so she can't have it.
'I don't ever put it on a bottle because anyone can do that so I put it on my arm.'
An incredulous Sam Matterface replied: Picked up her bottle and threw it?'
And Hampton replied: 'Yeah, it wasn't hard. When she's gone in the goal, it's on its own isn't it? It's in the towel.'
When Coll returned to her towel, she was visibly confused to find a replacement bottle – which Hampton had put there – but no notes, and was left searching for her original one.
'She was walking back to take the penalty and I was walking the other way and she was so confused, and I was just trying not to burst out laughing, being like, "I don't know what's happening!".'
Matterface added: 'This is happening at the key moment in a penalty shootout for the title of European champions?' to which Hampton replied: 'Yeah, you've got to do something, haven't you?'.
Hampton was amongst five Lionesses to be nominated for the Women's Ballon d'Or, with Lucy Bronze, Kelly, Alessia Russo and Leah Williamson also being shortlisted.

Amy Childs delays wedding to next year for 'bigger and better' celebrations after her mother's ill health as she gives a major update
Amy Childs has revealed she is looking for a new wedding date after postponing her upcoming nuptials with fiancé Billy Delbosq due to her mother's ill health. The former TOWIE star, 35, shared a major update on Tuesday as she revealed she is planning an 'even bigger and better' wedding than originally organised next month. Amy's mum Julie, 59, sadly suffered from a heart attack in May, which seems to have pushed back their desired wedding date in September. Despite no longer tying the knot this year, Amy and Billy, who have been together since 2021, said they will get hitched in 2026 and have insisted it will be 'amazing' as they are hoping for a two-day event or week abroad. Speaking about her plans to new!, an optimistic Amy said: 'We'll get a new date set. We'll get the summer out the way and in September we'll get organised. 'The wedding I want needs to be amazing. It will definitely be next year.' Meanwhile, her future husband added: 'We'll delay it for a year and it will be bigger and better. I'd love to do a two-day event in England or a week abroad.' Despite the 'pressure being off' as the couple have loads of time to plan for a wedding next year, Amy was very much sorted for the original date - apart from the main event - her dress. She explained that she did start hunting for the perfect wedding dress for her nuptials, even looking up designers and on boarding a stylist for extra help. The reality star added: 'We got everything sorted. The only thing I didn't sort out was the dress. I was looking at designers – I had a stylist. In the end, my life was turned upside down with my mum and that was really tough.' The mum-of-four said Julie was rushed to hospital despite not having any symptoms before the heart attack, which is what shocked her the most. Sharing an update on her health, she explained that Julie has since had a stent put in and that she is with her every day. Amy - whose youngest kids are eight-month-old twins Billie and Millie - said it was hard to juggle looking after them as well as making sure her mum was fine. The TV personality is also mum to daughter Polly, eight, with builder Bradley Wright, and Ritchie, five, with her ex of the same name. She shared how they were in Tenerife at the time, and Amy flew straight home to be with her mum. Thankfully, she said her mum is now fine and will likely speak about it on upcoming scenes on TOWIE. Julie will be known to fans as she starred in her daughter's 2011 reality show, It's All About Amy. It comes after Amy shared a gushing appreciation post for fiancé Billy, as she admitted the couple had gone through 'a very stressful six months'. Taking to her Instagram, she posted a glowing tribute to her partner for getting through the stressful time together - juggling house renovations, their careers and raising four children. Amy shared a snap of the couple together as Billy wrapped a loving arm around her waist. Captioning the loved-up shot, she gushed: 'Appreciation post for this one ♥️ A very stressful 6 months with the house renovations but we are finally there. 'Passing ships, 4 kids, house renovation, work, if we can get through this we can get through anything babe♥️ I love you babe @billydelbosq8.' Billy was quick to take to the comments to voice his own appreciation for Amy, penning: 'The last 6 months has been an absolute rollercoaster of ups and downs.. Renovations, Family life, work life and everything else in between.. 'But we've come through the other side stronger… Life always throws curve balls but no matter what we have us ❤️ I love you xxx'.
