Euro 2025: Lionesses win final on penalties over Spain

England’s Lionesses have won Euro 2025 after beating Spain 3-1 on penalties in Switzerland.

The defending champions of the tournament took on World Cup holders Spain in tonight’s (July 27) Euro 2025 final at St Jakob-Park in Basel.

Sarina Wiegman's side started the final brightly and looked to put pressure on Spain from the outset.

Spain's forward Caldentey scored a goal within the first 25 minutes of the match, while England's Russo equalised shortly into the second half of the game.

After a tense 30 minutes of extra time, a penalty shootout ensured a win for the Lionesses with Chloe Kelly scoring the winning goal.

Spain had previously beaten England at their first World Cup final in 2023.

Speaking ahead of tonight's final, England’s captain Leah Williamson, insisted that the team were “connected to what a victory means to the nation”.
