England player ratings vs Spain at Women's EURO Final
Hannah Hampton: 8.5 — Four saves and 11 recoveries. Had no hope on the goal and was brilliant in penalty kicks.
Alex Greenwood: 6 — Good going forward although her long passes were more hopeful than not on several occasions.
Jessica Carter: 7 — Decent with the ball as England's left side was under duress all day.
Leah Williamson: 7.5 — Nearly perfect on the ball while racking up near 20 defensive actions. Certainly the top English defender on the day.
Lucy Bronze (Off 106'): 6.5 — She was fantastic in implementing Wiegman's physical tactics, but she loses a point for allowing Caldentey to waltz onto a header for Spain's first goal.
Keira Walsh: 6.5 — England lost the midfield battle but both Walsh and Stanway were resolute throughout.
Georgia Stanway (Off 115'): 6.5 — See Walsh's description above. Stanway and Walsh were a combined 11-of-24 in the duel. Guijarro was 12-of-16.
Ella Toone (On 87'): 6 — The Man United midfielder created a chance but was otherwise quiet.
Lauren Hemp: 6 — Had a huge chance go missing. Put herself into the battles but second-best on a lot of them.
Lauren James (Off 41'): 6 — Quiet day with a couple of good defensive interventions before an injury called time on her final.
Alessia Russo (Off 71'): 7 — Largely starved of the ball but quite efficient; Her airborne header between two starring defenders was so well-spun home.
SubsChloe Kelly (On 41'): 7 — Two created chances and two shots to go along with the assist. One-dimensional on the day as Spain controlled what was behind her.Michelle Agyemang (On 71'): 6.5 — At the center of the physical fight, with a combined five fouls committed and suffered over her 50(ish) minutes.Beth Mead (On 87'): N/ANiamh Charles (On 106'): N/A — One terrific intervention in her short shift almost gives her a huge rating.Grace Clinton (On 115'): N/A
Spain player ratings vs England at Women's EURO Final
Catalina Coll: 7.5 — No one with human arms was going to get to Russo's header, and the in-tight save on Hemp early kept things scoreless. Solid in penalties
Olga Carmona (Off 106'): 7 — As quiet a day as possible while racking up triple-digit touches. Nothing bad.
Laia Aleixandri: 7 — Both Aleixandri and Paredes were Player of the Match caliber aside from the England equalizer when Russo found her way between them for her header. It was a brilliant header of a terrific cross, to be fair.
Irene Paredes: 7 — See Aleixandri.
Ona Batile: 8 — Fantastic. Assisted the goal and won almost every duel. Yes she was the closest to Kelly's cross on England's equalizer but she also could've easily had the match-winning assist at the end of the first extra time period.
Alexia Putellas (Off 71'): 7 — Solid if unspectacular from the 31-year-old living legend.
Aitana Bonmati: 7 — Three created chances, four shot attempts, and a half-dozen or so notable defensive moments.
Patricia Guijarro: 8 — Unsure if she lost a 50/50.
Athenea del Castillo (Off 89'): 7 — She cued up Batile's run/assist on Spain's goal, and at the time of her substitution her 19 touches in the opposing box were 14 higher than the second-most player.
Mariona Caldentey: 7.5 — The goal was great and she could've had 2-3 by the time this was settled in Switzerland.
Esther Gonzalez (Off 89'): 5 — Bottled up, the forward managed just 20 touches in 89 minutes.
SubsClaudia Pina (On 71'): 7 — Helped Spain's left side become just as dangerous as its right.
Vicky Lopez (On 89'): 6.5 — Got into so many dangerous positions but missed all of her chances.Salma Paralluelo (On 89'): 6 — Couldn't bury a winner inside the six during stoppage time in the first period of extra time.Leila Ouahabi (On 106'): N/A
