England are champions of Europe once again. The Lionesses won back-to-back Euro titles on Sunday, claiming Euro 2025 in a dramatic penalty kick shootout over reigning World Cup champions Spain. The match ended 1-1 in regulation, nobody could score in extra time, and a 3-1 win in the shootout clinched the crown for the underdogs.
It was a poor display of penalties with a lack of accuracy seeing five of the nine penalties taken missed or saved. Chloe Kelly scored the clinching penalty with a powerful effort to the left side of the goal, sending the Lionesses into a frenzied celebration in Switzerland.
Spain were far and away the more dominant team in the game, controlling possession and shots, but England were just as efficient for most of the game. While Spain took the lead before the half-hour mark via a header from Mariona Caldentey, the English responded just before the hour mark via Alessia Russo.
In total, five out of seven knockout stage games in the competition went to extra time.
