The Women’s Euros is over and, once again, it was England Lionesses who were crowned as the queens of Europe following a dramatic shootout win over Spain in Sunday’s final in Basel.
Mariona Caldentey’s 25th minute opener looked to have put Spain on their way to a memorable win in Switzerland, only for England to roar back once again, equalising just before the hour mark through Alessia Russo to take the game into extra-time and, finally, penalties.
Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati may have missed one the vital penalties as Spain fell at the final hurdle against England, but she didn’t leave trophy-less after being named player of the tournament. Her international teammate Esther González took the Golden Boot with four goals in six games, while England’s Russo made a huge contribution for Sarina Wiegman’s side yet again with five goal contributions during the tournament.
Alongside the big names, the Women’s Euros also produced a stage where previously unknown players flourished too, with many hoping their strong tournaments help build their reputation in the coming months.
However, with the tournament now over, The Scotsman look at which 10 players shined the brightest at the Women’s Euros 2025 - according to popular statistics website FotMob.
