Euro 2025 final key battles as England seek revenge for Spain's World Cup win
Here, the PA news agency looks at the key contests on the pitch that could decide the match.
Spain have not conceded a goal in the knockout stages and have hugely experienced captain Paredes at the centre of their defence. They are undoubtedly a tough nut to crack but Germany showed in the semi-finals that a direct approach can cause them issues. Russo's only goal at the tournament so far came in the big group-stage win over Wales but her workrate and ability to lead the line make her a key player for England whether or not she is on the scoresheet. Paredes will not have fond memories of Russo's pressing in Arsenal's recent Champions League victory against Barcelona.
The midfield battle is likely to be key to deciding the outcome, and Spain have big hitters in Alexia Putellas and Bonmati, who has won the Ballon d'Or Feminin the last two years. Walsh knows the pair's strengths extremely well having spent two and a half years as team-mates of both at Barcelona. The technical ability of Spain's midfield means it would be a surprise if they do not dominate possession and Walsh may well have to sacrifice her own ball-playing ambitions to a degree to try to be a disruptor and help prevent England's defence coming under too much threat.
A big concern for Wiegman and England fans will be how shaky the defence has looked at times. While England have managed to dig themselves out of their self-made holes so far, similar generosity against Spain could see them heavily punished. England captain Williamson has a key role to play in marshalling the backline and in trying to blunt the danger of Spain striker Esther Gonzalez. The Gotham FC forward is the tournament's top goalscorer with four, although she has not yet found the net in the knockout stages.

Helena Rowland: England's 97-7 victory over Spain just the start of the journey
Hat-trick hero Helena Rowland hopes there is more to come after World Cup favourites England launched their warm-up fixtures with a 97-7 demolition of Spain. The rampant Red Roses ran in 15 tries in Leicester as preparations for a tilt at global glory on home soil began in ruthless fashion. A dominant display at Welford Road was marred only by a second-half red card for stand-in captain Marlie Packer following an adjudged illegal clearout on Spain's sole try scorer Claudia Pena. John Mitchell's side, who were back in action for the first time since completing a Six Nations grand slam in April, play away to France next weekend before beginning their World Cup campaign against the United States on Friday, August 22 in Sunderland. 'We've got a big few months coming up,' versatile back Rowland, who was making her first Test start on the wing, told BBC Sport. 'It's all about trying to live every moment. We've definitely tried to keep evolving our game. Hopefully it will come together. This is just the start of our journey and hopefully there's more to come.' Prop Sarah Bern claimed two of England's tries, while Maddie Feaunati, Lucy Packer, Jess Breach, Jade Shekells, Lilli Ives Campion, Emma Sing, May Campbell, Hannah Botterman, Abby Dow and Megan Jones also crossed for Test rugby's top-ranked nation. 'I don't score that many tries so to get three in a game is always nice,' added Rowland. 'We put in some pretty nice stuff there, glad to get it off the training park. 'There's still plenty of things to fix up, as we knew there always would be. It's the first game after quite a long time. It was enjoyable out there and we've got to focus on next week now.'

LEW BLEW IT 'I'm absolutely useless' – Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari 'need to change driver' after Hungarian GP qualifying nightmare Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LEWIS HAMILTON slammed himself as "useless" and told Ferrari to "CHANGE driver" after another nightmare qualifying saw him booted out in 12th. To make matters worse for the seven-time world champion his teammate Charles Leclerc bagged a shock pole position at the Hungaroring.

And today, Rookies Gabriel Bortoleto, Isack Hadjar and Ollie Bearman all finished ahead of the British 40-year-old in Hungary. Hamilton said 'Everytime, everytime.' on his team radio as the mechanics rolled his car back into the garage. He added: "It's me every time. I'm useless, absolutely useless.

You've seen the car's on pole so we probably need to change driver." Told his assessment is obviously not the case, Hamilton replied: "It clearly is. I just drove terribly. It is what it is." Hamilton has not finished on the podium after 13-races since his move to Ferrari this season, meanwhile his teammate Leclerc is 30-points above him in the driver's standings. Nobody saw it coming, the first pole of the year for Leclerc, 27, to stun second-place Oscar Piastri and third-place Lando Norris in their lightning quick McLarens. 5 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Leclerc's stunning lap threw a huge spanner in the works as McLaren had looked on course to line up one-two on the grid after the first two sessions. But soon they were left scratching their heads and blaming the wind, which in fairness flipped the final session on its head on the outskirts of Budapest. Fears for F1 race with circuit damaged by raging storms as floodwater rips up part of the track Monegasque driver Leclerc even laughed when he was told on the team radio he secured pole, saying: "Whaaaaaaaaat?!" He added afterwards: 'Today I don't understand anything in Formula 1! Honestly, the whole qualifying has been extremely difficult. 'Honestly, I have no words. It's probably one of the best pole positions that I've ever had, because it's the most unexpected, for sure.' Piastri and Norris both blamed the wind, with the Brit saying: 'From how our form is, then of course (it's disappointing), but I think Charles did a good job on the last lap. 'He probably risked a little bit more in these conditions. The wind changed a lot and it really seemed to punish us in a bigger way it seems.' Aussie driver Piastri added: "I think the wind changed a lot. It always sounds so pathetic, blaming things on the wind, but the wind basically did a 180 from Q1 to Q3.' There was more frustration for Mercedes as Italian 18-year-old Kimi Anontelli was out in Q2, having to settle for 15th on the grid for Sunday's race. Meanwhile, George Russell gave Toto Wolff's team a glimmer of hope, lining up in fourth-place on the grid for the race while Mac Verstappen who has been struggling all weekend came in eighth. Red Bull's Yuki Tsundoa was the biggest casualty from the first session as he was eliminated in 16th.

Andy Farrell not ruling out leading the Lions for New Zealand tour
A first series triumph since 2013 puts Farrell in pole position to take charge of the next expedition to New Zealand and the Ireland boss admits his passion for the Lions has only grown over the last two months. 'Everyone knows what I think about this concept and I suppose that says it all,' he said. 'I love everything that the Lions is about and I've thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed the last eight weeks. 'There are always ups and there are always downs, but the inner circle is a special place to be. 'Read into that what you want but I suppose four years, there's a long time between drinks isn't there?' Andy Farrell and Australia coach Joe Schmidt shake hands during the final Test (David Davies/PA) An extraordinary third Test that produced three failed HIAs and saw James Ryan knocked out was paused for 37 minutes early in the second-half after the players left the field because of lightening strikes in the area. Australia then used up the full 10 minutes available to warm-up for the resumption of play, while the Lions only took five minutes. TV footage from the Lions' changing room during the break showed Finn Russell and Tom Curry using their phones. 'We agreed on 10 minutes for the warm-up and through the advice from our experts in that field we only made the call to come out five minutes before so that we would be ready to go,' Farrell said. 'I hope I'm not in a game like that again, actually. Rigor mortis was setting in at one stage there for the lads! I suppose that is what you come to expect with a schedule like the Lions schedule. We have seen it all now haven't we! 'We were trying to work out what the rules were and what was going to happen. At one stage it looked like it was going be 45 minutes then it was pulled back to 30 minutes. A huge thank you to: Australia 🇦🇺Our Support Staff 👨⚕️The Sea of Red 🌊🔴The Players 🏉 …and everyone who helped make the #Lions2025 Tour a truly unforgettable experience 🙏 — British & Irish Lions (@lionsofficial) August 2, 2025 'There were updates constantly coming in but the lads stayed relaxed enough, had five minutes of a warm-up and got the show back on the road. 'What came off the back of that is Australia hit the ground running and thoroughly deserved their win.' Australia boss Joe Schmidt revealed his side had prepared for the incoming bad weather. 'We had been warned that there might be a bit of lightning, so we had a plan and with that plan we made sure that guys kept moving,' Schmidt said. 'We'd four balls in the changing room so guys could throw them around, so that guys could stay connected. 'We had a couple of bikes and different guys were rotating on and off the bikes. The rest of the time, it was just trying to get us organised for the restart.'
