Naga Munchetty reacts to Lioness coverage saying Euro 2025 win was 'agonising'
The England Women's team won the Euros for the second successive time and Naga Munchetty has weighed in on their victory
BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty has responded after the Lionesses successfully defended their European Championship title claimed at Wembley three years ago.
Yesterday evening, the England women's football squad triumphed over Spain in Basel, Switzerland, following a dramatic penalty shoot-out.
The squad is set to attend a celebration at Downing Street on Monday. After their triumph, England skipper Leah Williamson emphasised her determination to demonstrate that the 2022 Euros victory wouldn't be a "flash in the pan."
The Lionesses are anticipated to stage a victory parade through central London on Tuesday this week, reports the Express. Commenting on their success, Naga turned to X and wrote: "Perfect. Just perfect. Painful. Agonising. But perfect. Back 2 back Champions #Lionessess #Euro2025."
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer declared on X: "You dug deep when it mattered most and you've made the nation proud. History makers."
Ex-BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker shared on Instagram: "INCREDIBLE! ! ! What a team. What a moment for Hannah Hampton. Chloe Kelly... bonkers. Sarina Wiegman is such a leader. 3 Euros on the trot for her!"
King Charles posted on social media: "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 praised the Lionesses, saying: "Well done, Lionesses. The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can."
Sarina Wiegman, the gaffer of England Women's team, has a hat-trick of Euro tournament victories under her belt, including her 2017 triumph with the Netherlands.
As per The Times, the telly audience for the Euros final, broadcast on both BBC and ITV, is predicted to be the biggest of 2025.
However, the Beeb faced a backlash during the final as pundit Fara Williams was conspicuously absent from their coverage. The presenting squad included Gabby Logan and Alex Scott, with Steph Houghton, Ellen White, Jill Scott, Nedum Onouha, and Fran Kirby also popping up during the tournament.
His post also featured several shocked-face emojis.
BBC Breakfast airs every day on BBC One from 6am.
