England started the Euros being doubted - but showed resolve, resilience and relentlessness
Being with the Lionesses before they boarded their bus - for a late night of partying - was to intrude in celebrations but glimpse into the mindset of champions. How such resolve, resilience and relentlessness can be mustered by a group of players who have given so much, been through so much over the last month in Switzerland. They leave as back-to-back European champions after conquering the world champions on penalties. Avenging the World Cup final defeat to Spain two years ago. 1:45 And yet they started the Euros being doubted - the first reigning champions to make a losing start. Twice they came close to elimination; saved both times by Michelle Agyemang. They led for less than five minutes in the knockout stage. But all that matters is the name engraved on the trophy - even if they took the scenic rather than the smooth route to glory. They showed how to fight back. How to win on penalties - twice. And above all, how to confront the most painful and challenging of situations. How many of those who posted racist abuse to Jess Carter are now celebrating the dogged defending that prevented Spain running away with last night's final? 2:57 And after the final, Carter opened up to Sky News about how close she came to leaving this tournament - a week after revealing the scale of the racist abuse face. I'd just informed her about fans singing her name in Basel. "It's incredible - I'm disappointed as to why it's come around and that's obviously really sad," Carter said in our post-match interview. "I can't thank them enough. Because honestly without my fans, family and my teammates I'm not sure I'd ever have the courage to go back on the pitch and play again. "I'm not really someone who struggles with the hate they receive because everyone has their opinion. "But this tournament has been really tough and I wasn't sure I was going to be able to come back on the pitch and be me." How grateful England are that she did stay. And how much appreciation for Lucy Bronze? Only after the final did the defender reveal she had been playing with a fractured tibia in all six matches here. "I've not been training all the time," she said. "But just played the games and fought for my team." Including when scoring England's final spot-kick against Sweden in the quarter-finals. And that shootout managed to feel even more dramatic and nervy - thanks to the four England misses - than the one that sealed victory over Spain. Because England had Chloe Kelly to turn to. Just as they did three years ago in extra time of the final, scoring the winner against Germany at Wembley. But football came to losing Kelly in January. After accusing Manchester City of trying to "assassinate my character", she nearly packed up her boots for good. Arsenal restored her belief and ensured she came to Switzerland a Champions League winner, confidence back, ready to complete the job for England again. "Thank you everyone who wrote me off, I'm grateful," Kelly said after scoring England's fifth and final penalty after Hannah Hampton's goalkeeping heroics. "There were a lot of tears at full time especially when I saw my family. Those are the people that got me through dark moments." But there will be so many moments of joy to take from these Euros, memories to bottle up, new superstars to embrace. 2:46 Because if it was not for Michelle Agyemang, England might not even have made it to the final. So while Kelly takes the plaudits as the match winner again, just remember how the striker came to England's rescue. Not once - with the equaliser against Sweden from 2-0 down - but again to level in the 96th minute against Italy in the semi-final. And just remember how Agyemang is only 19, leaving her first tournament a champion. As the Lionesses arrived back at their Euros base in Zurich early this morning, to party into the early hours, Heather Small's Proud was playing. The players who made their triple European champion manager Sarina Wiegman proud - and the nation so proud, once again. "We've shown resilience, we've shown character," forward Beth Mead said. "And we've smashed it and won."

Emotional moment Lucy Bronze consoles close friend and Spain star Ona Batlle following Euros final - after inseparable pair holidayed together before tournament
This is the emotional moment Lucy Bronze consoled her close friend Ona Batlle after England came from behind to beat Spain and retain their Women's Euros crown. Bronze started every game of the tournament but was forced off in extra-time before the Lionesses went on to win 3-1 in a nerve-shredding penalty shootout. At 33 years, eight months and 30 days, Bronze was her side's oldest player at the tournament and she was again front and centre of a record-setting triumph. Chloe Kelly proved herself the hero for her country again by slotting home the winning spot-kick after Mariona Caldentey and Aitana Bonmati saw their efforts saved by goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, while Salma Paralluelo skewed off target. Jubilant celebrations saw Kelly's team-mates flood onto the pitch to begin the party, but Bronze took a moment to escape the hubbub and made a beeline for Batlle. Inseparable on and off the pitch, the two friends high-fived before sitting down on the pitch, seemingly discussing the pulsating showdown that had played out in Basel. Once the madness had died down, Bronze, kitted out with her gold winner's medal around her neck, took a stroll with Batlle, who had changed into her tracksuit. The roles were reversed back in 2023 after Spain got the better of England in the World Cup final, when Batlle consoled a tearful Bronze after full-time. The duo were all-conquering team-mates in the 2023-24 season when they were at Barcelona, and they struck up a blossoming friendship, too. They also won the Champions League, Liga F, the Spanish Cup and Spanish Super Cup together. Bronze then completed a move back to England with Chelsea last summer. Bronze, 33, and Batlle, 26, enjoyed a holiday together ahead of Euro 2025 in Switzerland, sharing photos of the trip across their social media profiles. It appeared the duo were celebrating Batlle's birthday, with the Spaniard's caption on Instagram reading: 'Bday week.' One photo shared online showed them enjoying an ice cream in the sun, while another saw them relaxing on a lilo together in the sea. Bronze and Batlle also took a boat trip on their vacation and spent time together in a private pool. Their holiday this summer was by no means their first. Last Christmas, Batlle posted snaps of the two at Disneyland Paris, with the caption: 'What a magical place'. Bronze tends to keep her personal life very private. Hailing from Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland, she was brought up bilingual thanks to her Portuguese father and was exposed to football from a very early age by her older brother, Jorge. Incredibly, she revealed she had played all of Euro 2025 with a fractured tibia. 'I've actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia but no one knew,' she said after the game. 'Then I've just hurt my knee today on the other leg. 'I think that's why I got a lot of praise from the girls after the Sweden game because I've been in a lot of pain, but that's what it takes to play for England. 'That's what I'll do. They know that, I think we inspire each other by playing through things like that, and they got us to the end of them in the end. It was very painful but I'm gonna party and gonna enjoy it, that's it.' Head coach Sarina Wiegman paid tribute to Bronze, saying: 'Her mentality, the whole team has an incredible mentality, but she has a crazy mentality, it's unbelievable.'

Bitter Joey Barton takes ANOTHER aim at women's football after Lionesses' incredible win, ranting 'Don't ever ask for equal pay again' before telling Keir Starmer to 'do one' after PM posts congratulations
Joey Barton has sparked fresh outrage after blasting the Lionesses just moments after their nail-biting penalty shootout victory over Spain in the Euros Final. The outspoken ex-Premier League footballer took to social media following the historic win to call the competition the 'Nonsense Pottery Trophy', before slamming the standard of the match and warning England's stars: 'Don't ever ask for equal pay again. Youse are miles off it.' Barton's post came after the Lionesses defeated World Cup winners Spain in a dramatic 3-1 penalty shootout, following a gruelling 120 minutes of play that ended 1-1 in Basel, Switzerland. He then turned his ire toward Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who had posted a glowing tribute to the Lionesses on X, writing: 'The @Lionesses have changed the game - breaking barriers, making history and inspiring the next generation. 'Tonight, the whole nation will be behind them. Come on England!' Barton, who appears to be relishing his role as provocateur-in-chief, fired back at the PM, bluntly telling him to 'do one.' It is not the first time Barton has courted controversy when it comes to the women's game. Just last week, when the Lionesses were playing in the quarter-finals against Sweden, Barton took to social media to describe the penalty shootout that decided the match a 'monstrosity'. 'Is this a knockout game this monstrosity?' the former Newcastle midfielder wrote on X. Broadcaster Jeff Stelling was quick to reply, writing: 'Bet you haven't turned off though Joey?' Barton later responded: 'I did Jeff. That's how bad it was. You can't tell me that's proper football. It's pure cosplay nonsense… And YOU know it!' England captain Leah Williamson was forced off early with an injury, and admitted that the whole shootout was 'awful' to watch from the sidelines. He also claimed in 2023 that 'women are not qualified' to talk about men's football, 'they have no authority on the subject' in a direct attack on female pundits. 'I'm bothered about the female footballers who aren't good enough players to comment on the males players because they don't understand the game,' he wrote on X. 'They are taking men's jobs that our good enough. They are taking their opportunities Taking food out of their families' mouths. When those men have done the hard yards.' Barton's social media spats are just the latest chapter in a career marked as much by controversy as by footballing talent. The former midfielder, who played for Manchester City, Newcastle United, QPR, and Burnley during a career spanning nearly two decades, was known for his combative playing style and off-the-pitch antics. Capped once for England in 2007, Barton's career was often overshadowed by disciplinary issues – including a six-month jail sentence for assault in 2008 and numerous bans for violent conduct on the field. He retired from playing in 2017 after a short spell with Rangers and a ban for betting breaches. He later moved into management, most notably at Fleetwood Town and Bristol Rovers, but found himself in hot water again over allegations of assault, which he denied. After short-lived managerial stints, Barton has rebranded himself as a no-holds-barred commentator on social media, frequently clashing with fans and public figures alike.
