England fans celebrate in Manchester as team triumphs at Euro 2025

Hundreds of eager England fans crammed themselves into Freight Island to see if the Lionesses could make history by clinching a European Championship cup. The Lionesses were looking to avenge their 1-0 defeat by Spain at the World Cup final two years ago. While Spain were seeking their first European title and a chance to become the first national side in history to win every UEFA trophy on offer. There was a sense of nerves, quiet confidence and an overall excitement at the city centre venue from football fans before kick off.

The very excited players from The University of Salford's Women's football team were also praying for an England win, screams of "3-1", "2-0", "1-0" and "England on penalties" were thrown at the M.E.N when we asked for predictions. Friends Alice Carr and Kallie Weaver were excited but very nervous, noting how impressive Spain had been in this tournament. "They keep the ball really well." Said Kallie. "I think we'll win in the end, I have faith in them." Added Alice. Viral England super fan Andy Milne was also there, and he was caught in two minds. 'I'm a bit nervous, we don't start games very well and Spain are very good. I'd say 1-0 England, but my real prediction is probably 4-0 Spain.' In the end, Andy needn't be so pessimistic, in what was a tense battle, Spain took the lead through Mariona Caldentey in the first half, and England equalised with a Alessio Russo header in the second half. With nothing to separate them in extra time, the game went to penalties, where super sub Chloe Kelly slotted in a historic penalty that saw England become European Champions. Freight Island erupted with delight, with cheers that seemed to go on for an eternity before they sang Sweet Caroline at the top of their lungs.
