An overview of the final of the European women’s championship between England and Spain

The final of the Sunday female championship on Sunday sees a rehearsal of the 2023 World Cup final between Spain and England.

The Montse Tome team has undoubtedly been the favorites of most people to win the competition from the very beginning, although the lionesses of Sarina Wiegman are simply not found.

England will have to show more resilience to beat the world champions

Fortune promotes brave as they say, and England has detached itself from a hole in this competition.

While the Spaniards are clearly a more technical team, they were constantly exposed to the rear by the Germans in the semi-finals, and it is something that Wiegman can break into his players. The players who have shown resilience, heart and desire to move to their third consecutive final under the 55 -year -old Dutchman.

A little incredibly, given their domination over sport, this is the first final of Spain, and they will be wary of a team of lionesses who have the edge on them historically.

During 19 previous meetings in all competitions, England won eight, Spain triumphed in five and six were drawn.

England also has the advantage of goals scored with 24 to 19 of the Spanish.

A victory each in 2025 so far

In 2025, the teams have already met twice, both in the League of Nations. A 1-0 victory in February thanks to Jess Park was a huge result for the lionesses, although they cannot rely on the goal of Alessia Russo in the first half in Barcelona in June, allowing Spain to return and win the match thanks to a certificate by Claudia Pina.

The final of the World Cup was such a close case and yet so far for England, with the triumph 1-0 of Spain – their first title of female world cup – unfortunately overshadowed by what happened later with regard to Jenni Hermoso and the head of the Spanish football federation Luis Rubiales.

In terms of matches in the European championship, England again has an advantage, so Spain can absolutely take nothing for granted.

Not since the 2013 group phase, they have beat the lionesses in this competition, a 3-2 victory for their only triumph. Since then, England has again marked twice in their two victories; A 2-0 victory in the 2017 group phase and a 2-1 victory in the quarter-final 2022.

Sarina Wiegman, the best weapon in England against the Spanish

In Wiegman, England undoubtedly has the best women’s football coach in the world.

She led to a record of 16 final games in the European championship, first with the Netherlands and, later with England, winning the last two tournaments.

On occasion, with the Netherlands in 2017 and in England in 2022, she had a 100%record, and if that was not impressive enough, her teams made the final at the World Cup or the euros on the five opportunities where she contributed.

England of course faces the most difficult tests.

In Esther Gonzalez, Spain has the top scorer in the tournament (four goals), and also in their ranks is the current holder of the Ora Aitana Bonmati balloon.

If this was not enough for the competition of the Lionesses bottom line, the previous winner of the double golden ball Alexia Putellas continues to pull the strings of her country, and with a number of his colleagues from Barcelona Club, Spain presents a great test – but not impossible – to be overcome.

From an English point of view, in order to make the final competition, they must withdraw a sheet from the Book of Germany.

Keep a rigid shape and try to hit Spain on the counter, using the rhythm of their line forward to enter behind, also try to apply the same type of pressure they did against Italy, but they were late for long periods of this match.

The rest of an additional day could help lionesses

The two teams were taken nearby in their semi-finals, England winning a penalty from Chloe Kelly with a few minutes from the match and Bonmati also put the winner of Spain at the end of an additional 30 minutes against Germany.

If fatigue is always one thing, then the additional day that the lionesses had to recover could well switch the balance in their favor on Sunday.

A single final for women in Euro was ever brought to sanctions and England participated in it in 1984. Sweden won the first and only one on the other side of the Penon 4-3 in the Penalties, after the two games produced an aggregation score 1-1.

The winners will also have the chance to play in the UEFA-Conmebol women’s final against the winners of the Copa America women’s tournament, adding an additional advantage to the Sunday battle.

Spain’s chance for a unique place in history

England wants consecutive trophies in their office; However, Spain were triumphing, so they will have finished a very unique feat.

They will have become the first nation in the history of football to have won all the current competitions of the national team of UEFA, men or women, senior or youth, football or futsal; Euros male, female euros, futsal euros, female futsal euros, nations league, female league, euros U21, euros U19, euros U19 Women’s, euros of futsal U19, euros U17 and euros U17 for women.

May the best team win!
