Report: England only had one key trait over Spain – but it led them to Euro 2025 glory
History repeated, once as another triumph, twice with force. Chloe Kelly again decided the European Championship for England, this time with a penalty of such ferocity that it fittingly reflected the fight and spirit of this team.
It was proper grit, proper character… Yes, proper England, who remain European champions. Sarina Wiegman's side produced another miracle in this tournament, as she claimed a third successive winners' medal in the competition.
These are all historic feats in themselves, but they are elevated by the manner of this glory, writes Miguel Delaney in Basel.

Rodgers trying to 'convince' board to sign more forwards
Brendan Rodgers says he is "not doing that job as well as I can" as he attempts to "convince" the Celtic board of the need to sign more Benjamin Nygren and Shin Yamada have arrived this summer, but Rodgers has stressed the need for more firepower, particularly in light of Nicolas Kuhn's departure and Jota's long-term injury. "The squad will hopefully look again different come the end of the window," manager Rodgers said."I think it's very clear. We need to improve in the front end of the pitch. The attacking department has always, and always will be, the strengths of my teams. "We've lost important players in that area, and we need to replace players in that area."Rodgers appeared to send a warning shot to the board when discussing the lack of attacking arrivals."There's no doubt I would have liked to have had players in now, but it's not the case," he said."I'm not going to kill my own joy and overthink. I focus on what's here. We know the work that we need to do and it's my responsibility to convince the club that we really need them."Clearly, I'm not doing that job as well as maybe what I can, but I will continue to pursue that because it's something that's really important for us."

Revealed: Man United 'make enquiry' about wantaway Newcastle striker Alexander Isak - here's how he reacted
Alexander Isak's Liverpool dream may still be alive – but Manchester United have already found out where they stand. The Newcastle striker has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in Europe this summer, with Liverpool working behind the scenes to prise him away from St James' Park despite having a £110million bid rejected. And now, it has emerged that United also made an approach in recent days – only to be knocked back. According to German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Isak made it immediately clear he has no interest in joining Ruben Amorim 's side, with his heart set on a move to Anfield. Plettenberg also claims that personal terms with Liverpool are '100 per cent done', with a contract running until 2031 already agreed. The Swede's firm stance underlines the scale of the challenge facing Newcastle, who remain adamant he will not be sold unless Liverpool return with a significantly improved offer and replacements are lined up. Mail Sport revealed earlier on Friday that senior figures at Newcastle were left 'baffled' by Liverpool's conduct after receiving a formal offer £10m lower than the figure previously discussed. There is a growing feeling within the club that the Reds have 'strung along' Isak, who pulled out of their pre-season tour citing a minor thigh injury and has since been training alone at former club Real Sociedad. There is sympathy for Isak among some Newcastle staff, with sources suggesting the 25-year-old has been poorly advised and left in limbo. United's approach is understood to reflect their ongoing doubts over Rasmus Hojlund's long-term role, with manager Ruben Amorim keen to strengthen up front after last season's dismal 15th-place finish. But Isak's apparent response to their enquiry seemingly left no room for doubt – it's Liverpool or nothing, despite rumours he could possibly earn as much as £600,000 per week at Saudi side Al-Hilal. Should the Reds eventually return and strike a deal, Newcastle are expected to revive their interest in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who is also admired at Old Trafford.
