Bronze believes third major final in a row proves England's mettle
The Lionesses came from behind for a second consecutive knockout fixture in Switzerland to beat Italy 2-1 after extra time in the semi-final.
It means they will travel to Basel on Sunday to face either Spain or Germany in their third consecutive major tournament final.
'People say that England haven't been consistent in the past few years but getting to three consecutive major finals shows what this team is made of,' emphasised Bronze.
'We fight until the end. It probably wasn't our best performance again but Italy were a fantastic team as well, they started really well.
'It shows the fight that we have and the talent that we've got with players coming off the bench to make the difference.'

Italy took the lead in the 33rd minute through Barbara Bonansea and looked set to see out the game with the slender advantage as they packed bodies behind the ball with five at the back.
But the introduction of Michelle Agyemang once more proved vital to England's fortunes as she provided the equaliser in the 96th minute after just 11 minutes on the pitch.
And while for fans the 19-year-old may be the surprise package of the tournament, her talent is not a well kept secret in the England camp.
'I'm not surprised [by Michelle],' admitted Bronze. 'I remember the first time she came to training I already knew this girl was destined to be part of this group.
'She did it coming on against Belgium, that was the first time for all the fans, and from that moment onwards we knew that she was going to be special.
'Obviously she needs time, she's a 19-year-old. She's doing fantastically coming off the bench and putting in performances and working hard.
'But the fact that she's 19 and she's got so many years to improve and keep getting better. It's frightening to think of the forwards and the attackers we've got at England and so many of them are so young as well.'
The second difference maker would be a familiar face for Lionesses fans as 2022 hero Chloe Kelly stepped up to the plate when England won a penalty late into extra time.
While the spot-kick supremo did not dispatch at the first time of asking, she was reactive enough to fire home the rebound to send her side through to the Euro 2025 final.
'[Chloe] has got this attitude and this confidence that you can't buy,' said Bronze.
'She's a great teammate to have around. She's not started any of the games but every single game she's come on she's made a difference.
'She's one of those players you want on your team and not on the other team that's for sure.'
It means England have now scraped through their quarter-final and semi-final, after recovering from a two-goal deficit against Sweden to triumph on penalties in Zurich.
After Geneva also experienced the tumult of emotions, questions have been raised about the Lionesses' performances as they have consistently produced slow starts on the big stage.
They also started their tournament as a whole slowly as they made their group stage a tough test after losing to France in their opening match.
But Bronze insists belief has remained in the camp throughout, with the side focused on a trip to the St. Jakob Arena from the outset.
'We said it after the France game that we still believed we could still make it to the final,' she said.
'Maybe other people didn't believe that but losing that game brought us closer together and showed us what we needed to work on.
'We still made it to the final. Now tonight's just about recovering, obviously enjoying the moment, but we need to recover.
'We've played two 120 minutes and we want to be ready for the final.'

India pair Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja dent England's hopes of victory
Ben Stokes defied a problem with his right shoulder to dismiss KL Rahul for 90 and end a 188-run stand with Shubman Gill, who was out for 103 on the stroke of lunch in the fourth Rothesay Test. Jadeja was dropped by Joe Root off his first ball and he and fellow all-rounder Sundar settled India's nerves, taking them to tea on 322 for four – wiping out a 311-run first-innings deficit to lead by 11. The situation at tea ☕️ India lead by 1️⃣1️⃣ still require 6️⃣ wickets. Big final session needed 💪 🇮🇳 3️⃣2️⃣2️⃣-4️⃣ — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 Sundar, promoted to number five with Rishabh Pant injured, ended the session on 57 not out with Jadeja unbeaten on 53, leaving England facing the prospect of just a second draw in the Bazball era – both at Emirates Old Trafford following the 2023 Ashes washout. Aside from the prize scalp of Gill, England could not cash in on the second new ball, taken 40 minutes before lunch, with Liam Dawson offering containment but unable to exploit the foot holes on a fifth-day pitch. Indeed, Stokes offered the most threat, especially at the start of the day. There were doubts about whether he would even bowl after struggling with cramp and soreness in his left leg in Manchester. More fitness concerns became apparent after Liam Dawson started the day, with Stokes rubbing his shoulder following his first over then straightening his arm frequently from then on. England captain Ben Stokes, left, rubs his shoulder after bowling in Manchester (Martin Ricket//PA) Stokes might have had Gill on 81 but a drive burst through a leaping Ollie Pope's hands at cover to give Gill his second reprieve, having been put down on 46 by Dawson on Saturday. But variable bounce was increasingly in play and Rahul was struck on the knee roll by a delivery that jagged back and kept low, with an already-celebrating Stokes not even turning back to see umpire Rod Tucker's finger being raised. Gill wore a painful blow to his bruised right hand and helmet after another delivery from Stokes leapt off a length, but the India captain soldiered on to a ninth ton in 36 Tests. Alongside Sundar, Gill took India into safer waters and the deficit into double digits after England had taken the new ball without much reward. However, Gill then fiddled outside off to Archer a few minutes before lunch and feathered through a simple catch to Jamie Smith. Jadeja also edged his first ball, but Root could not cling on to a head-high chance at first slip. Jofra Archer gets the BIG wicket of Shubman Gill 👊 India four down! 🇮🇳 2️⃣2️⃣3️⃣-4️⃣ — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 Archer, usually excellent to left-handers, was too straight in the afternoon session, perhaps targeting the pads of Sundar and Jadeja, both of whom were all too happy to clip off their legs. Dawson was tidy but ineffective to the left-handers, prompting Root to be brought on after just 20 overs with the new ball, with the Yorkshireman getting one to rip past Sundar's outside edge. Stokes delivered a short burst before tea but leaked 15 runs from his third over and hooked himself as a short-ball ploy backfired, thumped twice to the boundary by Sundar and once by Jadeja as the pair brought up their fifties and took India into the lead. There was a possibility of a run out after Jadeja had pushed into the covers and set off, but the incoming Archer fell over while scooping up the ball and the chance was gone.
