Hannah Hampton reveals message Sarina Wiegman gave England stars before shootout
Hannah Hampton was crucial to England's Euro 2025 victory (Picture: Getty Images) England hero Hannah Hampton revealed the inspirational message manager Sarina Wiegman sent to the players ahead of the penalty shootout which brought Euro 2025 to a dramatic climax. The Lionesses edged out Spain 3-1 in the shootout after the game finished 1-1, with Hampton making vital saves from 12 yards. In tense circumstances it was a measure of revenge for England after losing to Spain in the last World Cup final, while they defended their own European title in the process. It was yet more resilience from England in this tournament, with Spain taking a first half lead and Wiegman's team having to come from behind just as they did in the quarter and semi-finals. It was 1-1 after 90 minutes and remained so after extra-time, with the manager speaking to her exhausted players ahead of the penalties. Hampton revealed what the now legendary manager said at that crunch moment, which ultimately proved successful. 'This is England!' Hampton revealed Wiegman said. 'I think this is our moment. Sarina Wiegman celebrates with Hampton (Picture: Getty Images) 'We've dug in for the 120 minutes, done what we've needed to do to keep Spain out. It was just one kick and that was it, we did that this time. 'Better pens than the last time, let's be honest!' Hampton referenced the narrow penalty shootout win over Sweden in the quarter-finals, which came before an extra time win over Italy in the semis. She said of the most dramatic tournament win: 'This team's just unbelievable, incredible. 'We've shown throughout this tournament we can come back when we go a goal down. Chloe Kelly made no mistake with the winning penalty (Picture: AP) 'We've got that grit, we've got English blood in us, we never say die and we just keep going and we did that again today.' Chloe Kelly scored the winning penalty, producing yet another iconic moment in an England shirt, and the goalkeeper admitted that she wasn't even sure that it could have been the final spot-kick. 'I'd completely lost track of what's going on,' she said. 'As soon as I saw her run off I thought that's it we've won. 'I can't believe it, I don't think it's going to sink in for a while.' It's yet more success for Wiegman and her side (Picture: Getty Images) It has been an incredible tournament for England after losing their opener to France, with Wiegman admitting she is struggling to get her head round it. More Trending 'I just can't believe it. I have a medal around my neck and we have a trophy,' she told the BBC. 'It has been the most chaotic tournament on the pitch – all the challenges we had on the pitch against our opponent. 'From the first game it was chaos. Losing your first game and becoming European Champions is incredible. Football is chaos.'

Video of Morgan Gibbs-White transfer U-turn gets same response from ALL football fans
Tottenham were seemingly closing in on the signing of Morgan Gibbs-White earlier this month but the Nottingham Forest star has now signed a record contract to stay put Morgan Gibbs-White has officially committed his future to Nottingham Forest - just weeks after the attacking midfielder looked all but certain to join Tottenham. News broke earlier this month that Spurs had triggered a £60million release clause in the 25-year-old's contract. However, Forest were left angered by what they considered to be an illegal approach from their Premier League rivals for one of their most influential stars. Gibbs-White has since played for Forest in pre-season as all talk of finalising said move to Spurs went quiet. And the club have now confirmed that Gibbs-White has signed a club-record three-year deal, putting an end to speculation over the midfielder's future. A video showing Gibbs-White and Evangelos Marinakis, the club's owner, was posted online to announce the news. But some mischievous fans have quipped that the Forest star looked like a 'hostage' in said video. One social media user joked: "Nothing like a hostage video with your captor standing beside you so you don't cry for help! #FreeGibbsWhite". Another poster quipped: "Gibbs-White fake smiling with his owner after being held hostage at Forest just like Olise at Palace." A third football fan said cheekily: "A lot of interesting moments throughout this transfer window. Obviously United's chase of players, Liverpool splashing huge cash, Arsenal always in the news, the Isak situation & a lot more. But I didn't expect a Morgan Gibbs-White hostage video. Never a dull moment". Despite the jokes from fans, Gibbs-White said that he was 'excited' for what's next at Forest after the club qualified for Europe last season. Speaking to the club's official website, he said: "I've felt at home at Forest from the moment I arrived. The support from the fans, my teammates, and everyone around the club has been unbelievable. "I believe in what we're building here – and with the backing of Mr Marinakis and the enormous ambition he has, I want to be part of making something special. I'm excited for what's to come." Forest owner Marinakis, who posed with Gibbs-White in photos celebrating the new contract, said: "Morgan is a special player – not just in terms of talent, but character and mentality. He represents everything we want this football club to be: he is a winner, talented, ambitious, fearless, and proud. "There was significant interest from various clubs, but we were determined to build our future with Morgan at the heart of it. I promised our fans we would not only compete, but grow stronger and stronger every season. Today is another big step in that journey."
