Where the Euro 2025 final will be won and lost
All eyes on the flanks as England and Spain go head-to-head once more.
After 16 teams, 30 games and a set of dramatic semi-finals, we are down to the final two at the Women’s Euros: the current European and world champions, England and Spain.
The two sides are set to meet in a final once again, following the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup in Australia. However, much has changed since they last faced each other in a trophy decider.
Spain sacked manager Jorge Vilda weeks after their World Cup win, amidst the Luis Rubiales scandal. Montse Tomé replaced him and led the side to a Uefa Nations League title in 2024.
England have since lost their starting goalkeeper Mary Earps, centre-back Millie Bright and playmaker Fran Kirby, but Sarina Wiegman’s side have adapted, improvised and thrived. The Dutch manager will be in her fifth consecutive major final on Sunday.
