England retain Women's EURO with upset of Spain in penalties
England have defended their UEFA Women's EURO crown, coming back to force penalties and then defeating World Cup champions Spain in a blockbuster 2025 UEFA Women's EURO Final on Sunday in Switzerland. MORE — 2025 Women's EURO hub: Scores, more More to come... How to watch England vs Spain live, 2025 Women's EURO Final stream link and start time Kick off time: Noon ET Sunday Venue: St. Jakob-Park, Basel, Switzerland TV Channel: FOX Streaming: Fox Sports 2025 Women's EURO Final, live updates from England vs Spain England vs Spain live score: 1-1 Goalscorer: Mariona Caldentey 25', Alessia Russo 57' Penalties Beth Mead — SCORES but has to retake after slipping in an 'irregular kick' Beth Mead — SAVED by Catalina Coll Patricia Guijarro — SCORES — England 0-1 Spain Alex Greenwood — SCORES — England 1-1 Spain Mariona Caldentey — SAVED by Hannah Hampton Niamh Charles — SCORES — England 2-1 Spain Aitana Bonmati — SAVED by Hannah Hampton Leah Williamson — SAVED by Catalina Coll Salma Paralluelo — MISSES wide of the right post Chloe Kelly — SCORES — England 3-1 Spain — ENGLAND ARE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE! End of second period extra time England got there. Now the pressure seemingly switches to the favorites. If this gets to penalties, Spain can only blame themselves England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton has been very good over 110 minutes and Niamh Charles made a terrific read to break up a prime chance for Spain a few minutes ago, but the Spanish have mailed several chances over the goal. So wasteful. End of first period extra time — It should be 2-1! Batile has been phenomenal and she should have a second assist, but Paralluelo opts for a back leg finish and can't convert from inside the six. No subs at the break but... Lucy Bronze is down and in emotional and physical distress in the 98th minute. She's going to limp slowly off the pitch, and seems destined to be replaced but seems to want to return... and does! End of full time We get to have more, which is nice. Spain reclaimed a bit of control late, as Paralluelo's few minutes on the pitch promised more danger. How much of a depth exercise will this become in Switzerland? More subs Beth Mead replaces Ella Toone in the 89th minute for England, while Spain's move sends on a pair of attackers in the 89th: Salma Paralluelo and Vicky Lopez for Esther Gonzalez and Athenea del Castillo. Gonzalez had been relatively ineffective, while del Castillo was very busy with a game-high (by 14!) 19 touches in the opposing box. She also played her part in the Spain goal well. England physical play paying dividends, taking risks Some (us) predicted that England might try to even this game by getting stuck into tackles that were, at best, on the edge of fouls. That's been the case, and the Lionesses have given away a couple dangerous free kicks now that have proven to be worth the risk. Subs Alexia Putellas is off for Claudia Pina, while England's goal scorer Russo departs for emerging megastar Michelle Agyemang. 1-1, 72'. Fingertip save denies England A corner kick is coming England's way after Kelly's spun shot was denied a place inside the far post by Coll. Spain deal with the corner but England have been the better team this half. Lucy Bronze yellow card A bit of a nasty-looking challenge that may have been just very poor timing from Bronze, who is in the books. Alessia Russo goal — England 1-1 Spain Cue the 'Why not both?' meme. Kelly is a hero off the bench again with a pinpoint cross between Paredes and Aleixandri, and an airborne Russo keeps her cool to spin a header inside the near post. Great stuff. ENGLAND HAS LEVELED IT!! 😱🏴 Alessia Russo scores the equalizer for the Lionesses! 💪 Second half underway Looks like no changes at the break. Halftime — England 0-1 Spain That was some half of football, but — ducks and looks around — if someone deserves to be ahead after 45 minutes, it's Spain. The team that came into this game with an absurd 72% possession mark for the tournament has managed 68% against a game England that's No. 5 in the world according to FIFA. The Lionesses have come ready to shoot, and have taken six of the game's 13 attempts while putting three on frame. Spain lead 1.04-0.68 in xG. But their backs have been wonderful, as Laia Aleixandri and captain Irene Paredes continue their Real-Barca partnership with brilliance. Lauren James injury means Chloe Kelly enters Many wanted Chloe Kelly to start, and Sarina Wiegman's hand has been forced after an injury to Lauren James. The bummer, of course, is that one of the very best players in the world exits the England set-up. Mariona Caldentey goal — England 0-1 Spain (25th minute) Oh, this is pretty. Three players touch the ball after Aitana Bonmati but she's set the plot for this short story. Bonmati holds the ball in the right corner and sends a perfect pass to defy three England defenders. Athenea del Castillo keeps the ball atop the 18 after a challenge from England, and Ona Batile races to the end line for a pass that she sends across goal. It's perfect, as Mariona Caldentey has darted in front of Lucy Bronze to thud a head across goal and past Hannah Hampton. SPAIN TAKES THE LEAD IN THE UEFA WOMEN'S EURO 2025 FINAL! 🇪🇸💪 Mariona Caldentey heads it in off the cross from Batlle! 👏 Another opening for England Almost on cue, the Lionesses keep the ball a bit more. And the 19th minute sees Spain on the ball but England pouncing on an error. Lauren Hemp is on Cata Coll's doorstep but the Barcelona backstop swings her left leg to block the ball out for a corner kick. Spain handle the set piece, and go back the other way. A fun watch so far. Recalling a Premier League rivalry Maybe this comparison is too easy, but the way Spain are attempting to unlock an aggressive team begging to fire forward on the break... Pep's Man City vs Klopp's Liverpool. It's a lot of fun, and so far the Klopp of this comparison — Sarina Wiegman — has to feel great about her England's understanding of what Spain wants to do. Third-minute danger! Alessia Russo beats the Spanish back line and her hard, dragged shot across goal is slapped toward the back post. Lauren James can't navigate traffic to snap the rebound toward the back post. Underway! England in white, Spain in red Wiegman stands firm with XI Sarina Wiegman resists the urge to start Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang, heroes of the tournament who have served as super subs and will continue to do so on Sunday. England lineup Hampton, Bronze, Carter, Greenwood, Williamson, Stanway, Toone, Hemp, James, Walsh, Russo Spain lineup Coll, Carmona, Aleixandri, Paredes, Batile, Putellas, Bonmati, Guijarro, del Castillo, Caldentey, Gonzalez England team news, focus The Lionesses have some big injury concerns, as Lauren James limped off the pitch with an ankle injury in the semifinal. Captain Leah Williamson and superstar Lucy Bronze were carrying injuries prior to the semifinal but trained ahead of the final. It's difficult to imagine either missing the stage after appearing in training. Spain team news, focus Spain are led by Alexia Putellas, who is pacing the tournament in goal contributions with seven. Only teammate Esther Gonzalez has more goals in Switzerland with four. Barcelona midfielder Patricia Guijarro has also been excellent. 2025 Women's EURO Final prediction Spain are favored to win but England have proven a magnificent competitor and would be a worthy champion. Spain are the tournament's best finishing (3.4 goals per game) and defending (0.6 goals/game) team, while their 72.9% possession mark for the tournament is more than 12% better than second-ranked England. But hold on — England have missed more big chances than anyone else (16) and the Lionesses' expected goals total is just 0.5 less than Spain. The key here may be England's success in mucking it up. Expect hard fouls without the ball and a fire-whenever mentality in attack. Spain's path to the final was a bit easier than England, who have had to go 120 minutes in their last two matches. To us, that's the difference maker despite Sarina Wiegman's masterful leadership of the Lionesses. And if our prediction proves true, we're grateful that Spain would be able to celebrate a title without disgraced ex-president Luis Rubiales. England 1-3 Spain.

2025 Women's EURO Final player ratings: Who delivered in England vs Spain?
A thrilling 120 minutes led to the tension of penalties at a major final, where Spain and England mixed it up for the 2025 Women's EURO crown. MORE — England vs Spain recap, as it happened Who were the stars from this affair? Read on... 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. Subs Chloe 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/A Niamh Charles (On 106'): N/A — One terrific intervention in her short shift almost gives her a huge rating. Grace Clinton (On 115'): N/A ENGLAND HAS LEVELED IT!! 😱🏴 Alessia Russo scores the equalizer for the Lionesses! 💪 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. Subs Claudia 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

£34.9m Liverpool Transfer Target Rejects Everton
Malick Fofana Transfer Update: Belgian Star Rejects Everton Amid Champions League Ambitions Malick Fofana, one of Belgium's brightest young attacking prospects, appears to be setting his sights far higher than a move to Goodison Park. The 20-year-old had an excellent season for Lyon in Ligue 1, registering 11 goals and five assists, and that form has naturally attracted attention across Europe. While Premier League clubs have been circling, the former KAA Gent academy talent seems in no rush to make a decision based on who knocks first. Everton were the first to act decisively, with reports from Fabrizio Romano confirming the Toffees are 'in advanced talks' with Lyon, offering a package worth around €36 million including bonuses. Lyon, however, are holding out for a guaranteed €40 million. But according to respected Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, 'Malick Fofana has other plans than joining Everton Football Club. As told yesterday, the Belgian Red Devil knows some teams playing Champions League that are waiting to make room in the squad are interested in him.' Champions League Clubs Hold the Key Fofana's ambitions are clear: he wants a club playing at the highest level of European football. Despite Everton's determination and financial push, it's a sporting project Fofana is prioritising. Liverpool had reportedly opened talks with the player's representatives earlier this month, as reported by Le'Equipe. The Reds are known to be in the market for attacking reinforcements this summer, following the sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for £65.5 million. The interest in Fofana appears to be genuine, even if not yet advanced. Other suitors reportedly include Bayern themselves and clubs from Italy and Spain, all watching the situation develop as they balance their current squads and financial restrictions. Not Just About Money Fofana has also turned down Nottingham Forest, signalling that his next destination must match his trajectory and aspirations. His intent is not merely a move to the Premier League but a step towards elite competition. While Lyon are open to selling, they won't accept anything below their valuation. It's a deal that will require the right mix of finances, sporting prestige and vision. Liverpool's Interest Still Active Liverpool's scouting network has been diligent this summer, with Arne Slot aiming to build on last season's title-winning success. Fofana fits the age profile and stylistic mould Liverpool have often pursued in recent windows. His acceleration, directness and sharp end product would certainly add depth to Slot's frontline. However, patience will be crucial. Clubs in the Champions League are still adjusting their squads, and the real movement could come once a domino falls. If Liverpool decide to accelerate their interest, they may still be able to position themselves favourably. But as it stands, no agreement is imminent. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis Fofana's stance is actually reassuring. This is a player who knows what he wants. Turning down Premier League clubs like Everton and Forest because they don't offer Champions League football suggests he's focused on legacy, not just wages. With Luis Diaz now officially a Bayern Munich player, there's a clear need to fill that void. Fofana, with his ability to operate on either flank, sharp movement and age profile, fits what Arne Slot might be looking for. But given Slot's reputation for tactical cohesion and discipline, it will be interesting to see if Liverpool push for a player who is still relatively raw at 20, even if the ceiling is sky high. Slot's Premier League title win in his debut campaign gives him both credit in the bank and a foundation to attract top talent. If Fofana truly wants to play Champions League football and develop under a progressive manager, Liverpool ticks every box. However, it's worth remembering that the tragic loss of Diogo Jota this summer has created both an emotional and tactical gap. The club may prioritise someone with a bit more experience to step into that role immediately. Fofana feels like a longer-term project, albeit one with immense potential. If Liverpool are in the race, it won't be to simply make up numbers. Keep an eye on this one.
