🗞️ Spain's shock against England steals the headlines
And the dream of the Women's EURO remained just that, a dream. The penalties against England shattered the hopes of a Spanish team that failed to capitalize on the good work they had done against England within the regulation poor performance from the penalty spot was decisive for Montse Tomé's team, which is now without the EURO and with some doubts. Doubts in the form of players and in the form of decisions about the bench. The headlines in Spain this Monday carry the disappointment of a country unable to win a tournament in which they were favorites. Meanwhile, if we look at England, everything is happiness. The English newspapers carry the feat of the Lionesses on their front pages on a Monday that starts like this.

England beat Spain on penalties to win Women's Euro 2025 in thrilling finale
Substitute Chloe Kelly fired in the winning penalty as England completed another spectacular shootout comeback to defend their title and beat world champions Spain 3-1 on penalties in the Euro 2025 final. The Lionesses came back twice to reach the decider in Basel and book this revenge mission against the same side who beat them at the 2023 World Cup in Sydney. And Mariona Caldentey ensured England would need another when she nodded in a 25th-minute opener, cancelled out by her Arsenal team-mate Alessia Russo with a header of her own from Kelly's cross after the break. Hannah Hampton made several spectacular saves in the shootout before Kelly netted the dramatic winner after Sama Paralluelo's miss. Lauren James was deemed fit enough to start after coming off at half-time of England's semi-final comeback over Italy with an ankle issue, while Jess Carter returned to the defence in place of Esme Morgan. Lucy Bronze overtook Jill Scott to become the Lionesses' all-time appearance leader in major tournaments, featuring - and starting - for a 36th time. England had a chance to take an early lead when Russo, released on the right, forced Cata Coll into a save, and James could not connect when the rebound returned in her direction. England keeper Hampton's big block denied Esther Gonzalez, who directed a second effort off-target, before Spain nearly gifted England a huge chance just before the 20-minute mark. Laia Aleixandri was caught sleeping on Coll's pass, allowing Lauren Hemp to intercept and test the Spanish keeper, who stuck out a leg to let Aleixandri off the hook. Spain's patience deep in England's half paid off when Caldentey finally found the back of the net, the opener initially facilitated by Aitana Bonmati winning her battle with Georgia Stanway near the touchline. The back-to-back Ballon d'Or winner then found a composed Athenea del Castillo - earning a start in place of Claudia Pina - who her time before working it to Ona Batlle, whose pinpoint delivery allowed Caldentey to power her header into the top right. Spain were in the driver's seat by the 41st minute when James, who had taken a knock, was replaced by Kelly, who got herself involved immediately with a wide effort. Hampton denied Bonmati, then Caldentey before Russo, sandwiched between two Spain centre-backs, drew the sides level, nodding home another sumptuous cross from Kelly in the 57th minute. Kelly then nearly got herself on the scoresheet with just over 20 minutes remaining, forcing Coll into a low fingertip save. Russo's evening was over two minutes later, replaced by 19-year-old breakout star Michelle Agyemang, and it took a spectacular reaction from Hampton to deny Claudia Pina, two minutes after the Spanish substitute's own 71st-minute introduction. A big Carter block denied Paralluelo, who blazed over, and neither side was able to make the difference after 30 minutes. Spain looked likelier to score, first through Pina's curled effort, then Paralluelo came up short in her attempt to cleverly flick in a winner late in the first 15-minute period of extra time. England resolutely defended against more waves of Spanish attack, but their own was found wanting as they looked to avoid another shootout, their hopes kept alive by two more Hampton saves before Vicky Lopez blazed over. Coll picked out Kelly's corner with just under five minutes remaining in extra time, there was another huge Carter intervention to deny Bonmati another chance, and four minutes of stoppage time passed without anyone finding the back of the net. Bronze, who fired in the winning penalty in England's semi-final comeback over Sweden, had been forced off in extra time. Mead found the back of the net with England's first attempt, but was forced to retake it after VAR determined it had been double-hit after the substitute slipped, and was denied by Coll on her second try. Patri Guijarro and Alex Greenwood both converted before Hampton leapt to her left, refusing to let Caldentey beat her again, then kept out Bonmati's effort after Niamh Charles had beaten Coll. Coll kept out captain Leah Williamson's attempt, but Paralluelo's miss opened the door for Kelly - who netted the winner three summers ago. And just like she did three summers ago at Wembley, Kelly stepped up and scored when it mattered most.

Euro 2025: Gritty England defend title with fitting final win over Spain - Lionesses always find a way
As soon as the ball hit the back of the net, the England players were off, charging towards Chloe Kelly. Of course, it was Kelly that struck the winning penalty to crown the Lionesses champions of Europe again and that typified how this was a script we have all seen before. England, as has been the case for much of Euro 2025, were not at their best in this final - but somehow they found a way to win. Spain were technically the superior side. Their attempted passes were over 750 and nearly doubled that of England's. They had 22 shots to England's eight. The Lionesses, however, combated it with a performance full of grit and grind. Hannah Hampton was the hero, crowning a stunning display and a brilliant tournament by saving two penalties during the shootout. Ahead of her, Jess Carter and Leah Williamson were colossus. Carter was the only change from the semi-final win over Italy, recalled in place of Esme Morgan. She more than justified her selection, putting in an incredible performance when you consider the racist abuse she suffered only a week ago in the wake of England's quarter-final victory over Sweden. This final followed the pattern of that Sweden game and the win over Italy. England had to come from behind for the third match in a row after Mariona Caldentey's opener midway through the first half, but it did not faze them. Sarina Wiegman's side have shown at this Euros that they are truly the 'Queens of Comebacks', and so it proved here in Basel when it mattered most. Remarkably, the only time England have led in a knockout game at this Euros was against Italy - when Kelly struck in the 119th minute. Kelly has been a game-changer for England off the bench at this tournament and she was crucial in this victory over Spain. Coming on for Lauren James, who lasted just 40 minutes before injury struck, Kelly added pace and impetus to England's attack. It was her perfect cross that found Alessia Russo, with the Arsenal's striker header shortly after half-time getting England back on level terms. Momentum was with the Lionesses at that point and you wondered if they would kick on. Michelle Agyemang was thrown on, England's hero in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, but she was kept quiet by Spain. Beth Mead also struggled to make an impact and, instead, it was Spain that will feel they should have won this game before penalties. Claudia Pina was denied by a big save from Hampton, while Salma Paralluelo somehow failed to turn a cross home from a matter of yards. It was backs to the wall stuff from the Lionesses - 'Proper England' as they call it - and it got them to penalties. England had already won one shootout at this tournament, a truly bonkers one against Sweden in the semi-final. This one was far less chaotic, although when Mead slipped and double-hit the ball for the opening penalty - forcing her to retake it - you feared the worst. Mead's retaken penalty was saved and, suddenly, England were on the back foot. No matter, though, not for this team, not for this squad. Alex Greenwood cooly slotted her penalty and then Hampton made two huge saves, first from Caldentey and then Aitana Bonmati. Even Williamson having her spot-kick saved could not derail England and, after Paralluelo missed, it was left to Kelly to finish the job. It was never in doubt and the Arsenal winger had barely started celebrating, before she was mobbed by white shirts. Even Wiegman was down the touchline, dancing with the players as 'Sweet Caroline' blared out around the stadium. The 'Queens of Comebacks' are now the Queens of Europe, again.
