Lucy Bronze, the Euro 2025 winner who played with a fractured leg: 'Was it worth it? Absolutely!'
Lucy Bronze put her hand to her head, looking tearful. Despite all her might, she hobbled off the pitch, unable to carry on for the last 15 minutes of extra time during the European Championship final. There was a chink in the indestructible warrior's armour. Little did we know the 33-year-old had been playing the entire tournament with a fractured tibia. One wonders how you even walk with a broken bone in your lower leg, let alone play 106 minutes in a Euro final and 598 across the tournament. Advertisement Ask Lucy 'Tough' Bronze — her middle name taken from her mother Diane's maiden name. Tough by name, tough by nature. 'She has a crazy mentality; it's unbelievable,' said winning England manager Sarina Wiegman. Bronze, England's most decorated footballer and making her 36th appearance at a major tournament, the most of any England player, found out she had fractured her shin bone after England beat Portugal 6-0 on May 30. 'I knew I was in a lot of pain at the end of the (domestic) season,' she said, hobbling, a white bandage strapped round her right thigh, following England's historic penalty shootout win against Spain. And yet for two months, she carried on and started every game under Wiegman at Euro 2025. 'All the England players knew,' she said. 'Sarina (Wiegman) knew. I'll do anything to play for England. I've always said that.' Bronze took that literally. A fractured tibia was not going to stop her. She communicated her unbridled determination to her team by showing them a picture, which hangs in the team Dolder Grand's hotel in Zurich, of her being 'absolutely exhausted' after England lost to Sweden in the 2019 World bronze medal match. 'My 'why' has always been the same,' she said before the Sweden quarter-final. 'I'm very fortunate that my family get to follow me around and support me, but I'm someone who is based off of hard work and enjoying it. My 'why' was that I just love working hard and I love the game. It's as simple as that. Sometimes when the media gets involved and everything around the game (it affects my enjoyment), but I started playing football because I love it. That's literally it. When I loved it, I wanted to work hard. 'I will give anything and everything when I play in an England shirt. I wanted all the girls to know my why is to give everything for this team because I just love playing for England so much.' Bronze received a 'little bit' of pain relief but had to spread out her dosage of medication. She has not been training all the time with England but still started every game this tournament, playing 598 minutes. Only Hannah Hampton (630), Alex Greenwood (625), and Keira Walsh (599) played more minutes at Euro 2025. Advertisement 'Lucy, I don't… I have no words,' said team-mate Jess Carter. 'Lucy Bronze is just… I don't even know. She's incredible. Also, so stubborn to continue playing when she can't run or walk. She'll find a way through. Stubborn is the first thing but she's a winner and winning is in her DNA. That's what she wants to do. We all know that she'll give absolutely everything for this team.' they way georgia is dragging her 😭 — mac✨ (@espressobronze) July 28, 2025 Bronze hauled England through to the semi-finals. Against Sweden, she strapped her own injured leg, scored the goal to get the Lionesses back in it, and dispatched the penalty that sent England into the semis at the end of a farcical shootout. Even Wiegman, who rarely speaks about individuals, described her as 'one of a kind'. 'She just gets on with it,' said Chelsea defender Niamh Charles. 'No one really truly knows how much she's dealing with. To play on, that is pretty incredible but if there was anyone to do it, it would have been her'. England's identity has been closely tied to the phrase 'proper England' and Bronze embodies that no-nonsense, steely mentality. 'Yeah proper, proper English,' said Charles. 'She's a credit to that and an England legend.' Bronze is no stranger to playing through pain, having done so throughout Euro 2022 and yet she remains one of England's cornerstones. Her superhuman efforts have kept competition at bay. 'Was it worth it? Absolutely!' said Bronze without hesitation. After the Lionesses' Euro 2022 triumph, the right-back was offended that anyone would question whether she would be with England at the following year's World Cup. 'I'm only 30,' she said. 'B****y hell! How many players retire at 30?' But when asked if she would go for an eighth tournament, namely the 2027 World Cup in Brazil, Bronze remained coy. Advertisement 'What is it now? Seven? I've actually played in the Olympics,' she smiled, deftly rendering the question defunct. Unbeknown to the wider world, she has played through unimaginable pain when there was no guarantee of success. Call it foolish, stubborn or pure guts, there is no one like Bronze and there will never ever be again.

Lionesses to celebrate Euros win with open top bus parade and Downing Street visit
The Lionesses will celebrate their historic Euros victory with an open-top bus parade in central London and a trip to Downing Street. England fans erupted with joy across the country as the team defended their Euros title in a penalty shootout win over Spain in the final in Basel, Switzerland, on Sunday. Chloe Kelly scored the winning spot-kick following two huge saves from goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, sending supporters in fan zones into raptures. The King said the team had the royal family's 'warmest appreciation and admiration' following their victory, adding: 'The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can.' The Downing Street reception on Monday is due to be hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. The team will then attend a homecoming celebration event on Tuesday, with a ceremony expected to take place outside Buckingham Palace. However, it is understood Downing Street has no plans for a bank holiday to mark the Lionesses' triumph. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer hailed the team's triumph, saying: 'The Lionesses have once again captured the hearts of the nation. 'Their victory is not only a remarkable sporting achievement, but an inspiration for young people across the country. 'It stands as a testament to the determination, resilience and unity that define this outstanding team.' There will be an open-top bus parade along the Mall before the ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial, the FA said. Fans can attend for free and it will be broadcast live on BBC, ITV, and Sky. Supporters stood on tables, waved flags, threw drinks in the air and excitedly hugged each other as England claimed victory, while the Prince of Wales and Sir Keir watched on from the stands in Basel. Alessia Russo gave the Lionesses hope of retaining their Euros title with her second-half equaliser after Mariona Caldentey netted the opener for Spain in the 25th minute. In a statement posted on X after the game, Charles said: 'This brings you, your manager and all your support team my most heartfelt congratulations on winning the Euros 2025. 'For more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant 'football's coming home'. 'As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true. 'For this, you have my whole family's warmest appreciation and admiration.' The King added: 'More than that, though, you have shown through your example over past weeks that there are no setbacks so tough that defeat cannot be transformed into victory, even as the final whistle looms. 'Well done, Lionesses.' A picture of the Prince of Wales with his arm around his daughter Princess Charlotte was posted to X following the presentation of the trophy to the Lionesses, with the caption 'champions of Europe'. The pair congratulated the team in a short statement, saying: 'What a game! Lionesses, you are the champions of Europe and we couldn't be prouder of the whole team. Enjoy this moment England.' The statement was the first message Charlotte has personally signed on the Prince and Princess of Wales's X account. Tower Bridge was lit up in red and white following the Lionesses' victory, the City Bridge Foundation said. Sir Keir was the first to congratulate England on their win – posting on X: 'Champions! Congratulations Lionesses – what a team. What a game. What drama. 'You dug deep when it mattered most and you've made the nation proud. History makers.' William was spotted in the stands applauding and celebrating with those around him – including Princess Charlotte. As the presentation ceremony took place, the Prince of Wales was among those to congratulate star striker Michelle Agyemang on being named young player of the tournament. William exchanged words with Agyemang, appearing to say 'well played, fantastic, well done'. Agyemang, 19, who had one England cap before the tournament, scored crucial equalisers in the Lionesses' quarter-final and semi-final comebacks. There was non-stop applause in her home town of South Ockendon as fans saw the Arsenal forward step through a guard of honour to pick up her award. Supporters at her old club Brandon Groves AFC danced a conga line to the sounds of Vindaloo after England's victory. The club's vice-chairwoman, Paula Howes, said Agyemang will help give youngsters the 'motivation and drive' to progress from grassroots football to the top of the game. She said: 'I think she (Agyemang) has got that determination and that drive on the pitch, and the girls can connect with that. 'It is also knowing that she is a local girl as well, I think that helps give them the motivation and drive, to know that you can start at grassroots football and progress up to the higher level, if you work at it.' The National Autistic Society congratulated their ambassador Lucy Bronze on the Lionesses victory, adding: 'We hope she has inspired the next generation of autistic girls to follow their dreams.' Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy also gave her reaction to the win, saying: 'What an absolutely extraordinary achievement by our Lionesses – once again they have made history and united the country with pride and joy.' England's path to the final was marked by late drama. They sealed their spot with a last-gasp extra-time win over Italy, following a penalty shootout victory against Sweden in the quarter-finals after nearly crashing out in extra time.

Luis Diaz heads for Anfield exit: What it means for his legacy and Liverpool's transfer plans
When Luis Diaz's then girlfriend Gera Ponce posted a tribute to Liverpool supporters on social media at the end of last season, it felt like a goodbye. The words were accompanied by photographs and videos of them celebrating in front of the Kop with their young daughters Roma and Charlotte following the Premier League trophy lift in May. Diaz had the Colombian flag wrapped around his waist as his song boomed around Anfield. Advertisement 'From the first day we arrived, we felt first hand what it means to be a part of this club,' she wrote. 'What you have made my boyfriend and our entire family feel is something we carry in our souls. Thank-you for so much love, for so much dedication and for making us feel at home. This is a real bond, deep and strong, that reaffirms that we'll never walk alone.' Two months on, that farewell has been confirmed with Diaz set to complete a €75 million (£65.6m; $88.1m) move to Bayern Munich. It brings the curtain down on a three-and-a-half-year Anfield career which yielded 41 goals in 148 appearances. His impact was instant following his arrival from Porto in January 2022. With his ability to bamboozle defenders, he created a goal for Takumi Minamino just 10 minutes into his debut against Cardiff City. Jurgen Klopp said he had never met a player who smiled so much in training. With Sadio Mane moved into the centre to accommodate Diaz on the left, he quickly became a fans' favourite. They loved his direct approach with the ball at his feet and his tenacity out of possession. Diaz, who was affectionately known as Lucho by team-mates and staff, started all three finals in 2021-22 as Liverpool won a domestic cup double but suffered an agonising defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League showpiece in Paris and finished a point behind Manchester City in the Premier League. He was hampered by a knee injury the following season but in 2023-24 he was massively influential as Klopp's side lifted the League Cup again before their title challenge faded. There was the relief of his father Luis Manuel Diaz being released after being held hostage for 12 days by the National Liberation Army in Colombia. On the field, one complaint was that for all the dazzling approach play, there was a lack of end product at times. Arne Slot set about improving that last summer by getting Diaz on the ball in more central areas. Advertisement There was a first hat-trick of his professional career against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League last November when he was employed in a false nine role. It was a tactic Slot persisted with when they lined up without Darwin Nunez or Diogo Jota. Diaz scored twice in the 6-3 demolition of Tottenham having done likewise against Manchester United at Old Trafford earlier in the season. He also cancelled out Tottenham's early opener at Anfield on the day the title was won in April. His overall return of 17 goals in all competitions was the best of his Liverpool career and only Mohamed Salah scored more than his 13 league goals for the club in 2024-25. On the face of it, agreeing to sanction the exit of such a popular figure who is at his peak is questionable, but when you dig deeper, it makes more sense. For a start, Diaz was determined to leave having twice turned down attempts by Liverpool to get him to sign a new contract. There was just too big a gap between what he wanted and what the club was willing to offer. He had initially signalled his desire to pursue a new challenge 12 months ago when he had Barcelona pursuing him, but Liverpool made it clear then that he wasn't for sale. That stance remained in place at the start of this summer, but with Diaz still unwilling to sign an extension and Bayern prepared to increase their initial offer of €67.5m, the ground started to shift. Liverpool reluctantly did business, knowing that if they kept hold of him for another season then next summer his value would have been considerably lower with him down to the final 12 months of his contract. Ultimately, sporting director Richard Hughes ensured they pocketed €75m for a 28-year-old who cost them €49m from Porto and gave them great service for three and a half years. The parting of the ways has been respectful with Diaz not missing a training session during the tour of Asia before being granted permission to fly to Munich to complete the formalities. In terms of filling the void, Liverpool believe they have sufficient left-sided cover already in place. Cody Gakpo, who scored 18 goals last season, is expected to kick on and play an even bigger part. New signing Hugo Ekitike can operate off that flank as well as through the middle, while the emergence of teenager Rio Nguhoma is another factor. It would be wrong to expect too much from Nguhoma given he doesn't even turn 17 for another month, but he's a massive talent. He has lit up pre-season so far and you don't want to block his pathway. Advertisement Diaz is highly unlikely to be the last senior Liverpool attacker to leave in this window. There's ongoing interest from the Saudi Pro League in Darwin Nunez, while Federico Chiesa continues to be linked with a return to Italy. On the right side, Liverpool have Jeremie Frimpong who can deputise for Salah. Harvey Elliott and Ben Doak are also options, although they could both depart in the coming weeks if suitable offers are forthcoming. The real intrigue surrounds what happens centrally. Nunez being replaced by Alexander Isak is the dream scenario. However, for that to happen Newcastle United will have to soften their stance over the Swedish striker not being for sale. Liverpool would also need to command a decent fee for Nunez to help finance it. Slot wants to have tactical flexibility and Florian Wirtz could operate at times in the false nine role that Diaz filled on occasions last season. In terms of his legacy, Diaz never consistently hit the heights of Salah, Sadio Mane or Roberto Firmino. When it comes to legendary status, he belongs on the next rung down. It feels like a strange time to want to leave Liverpool but at this stage of his career he wanted the security of a big pay rise across a long-term contract stretching into his early 30s. His salary on Merseyside was always significantly higher than the £60,000 per week sometimes reported. Diaz and Gera Ponce got married in their homeland last month and they will now start a new chapter together in Munich. He will be missed in the Liverpool dressing room, especially among the close-knit South American contingent. He leaves behind some special memories and is guaranteed the warmest of receptions at Anfield if he returns with Bayern.
