“I knew it would hit the back of the net,” says England heroine Kelly, who enjoys Wiegman’s chaotic victory.

Chloe Kelly was sure of her decisive penalty England wins the shootout against Spain in the Euro 2025 Final I was planning to hit the back of the net.

Kelly, the winner’s scorer against Germany in the UK’s Euro 2022 victory at Wembley, has once again become the British heroine as Lioness returned home from 12 yards as he retained the title.

Salina Wigman’s team became the first England team to win a back-to-back major tournament when Mariona Caldentie advanced through Spain in the 25th minute.

However, Kelly, introduced for injured Lauren James in the 40th minute, created a magical moment in the 57th minute, as her left-wing cross found Alesia Russo’s head in the 57th minute, eventually forcing extra time.

England kept Spain in the bay for 30 minutes, despite losing Lucy Bronze and Georgia Sternway to injuries, and they continued to settle in the shootout.

Beth Mead missed the opening penalty for England after being judged to have accidentally kicked her first successful effort twice. However, the Lioness recovered from that set-off, Hannah Hampton saved her from Caldentay, and the tournament’s Aitana Bonmati player fired a big shot from Salma Paraluelo, allowing Kelly to settle and secure the British glory.

Kelly missed a penalty in the semi-final against Italy, but followed up to get the winner on the rebound. However, this time there was no mistake.

“I’m very proud of this team. I’m grateful to be wearing this badge. I’m proud to be in English,” Kelly told BBC One.

“I’m cool, I was composed. I knew I was going to hit the back of the net, and I never miss a penalty twice.

“Incredible. All the staff behind us and Salina Wigman – she did it again! Unbelievable.”

Wiegman has now won three consecutive European titles, leading the Netherlands to their home town title in 2017.

Their victory over Spain marked the third consecutive match that England came from behind to win.

“We said we can win by any means, and that’s what we’ve shown again today,” Wigman told BBC One. “I am very proud of my team and staff, and it is incredible.

“I can’t believe it. I have medals around my neck and trophies.

“It was the most chaotic tournament on the pitch. All the challenges we had on the pitch against our opponents.”

“It was a mess from the first match,” Wigman added a tournament where England began with a loss to France.

“It’s incredible to lose your first game and become a European champion. Football is a mess.”
