England have been crowned champions of the Women’s Euro 2025 after a nerve-wracking penalty shootout victory over Spain on Sunday night. The final, held at St Jakob-Park in Basel, ended 1-1 after extra time before England triumphed 3-1 on penalties.
Chloe Kelly sealed the win with the decisive spot-kick, while Spain missed three penalties — including one by Ballon d’Or holder Aitana Bonmati. Earlier, Mariona Caldentey had given Spain the lead with a first-half header. However, Alessia Russo brought England level early in the second half, setting the stage for the dramatic shootout.
With this win, England successfully defended their European title, adding another historic chapter to their growing dominance in women’s football.
