Summary
England held their nerve again. England fought to the bitter end again. England are European champions yet again.
The final episode of Full Time Euros takes you inside England's penalty shootout win over Spain in the Women's Euro 2025 final win in Basel, Switzerland, with host Jillian Sakovits and the Athletic’s Laia Cervello, Michael Cox, and Charlotte Harpur.
The trio analyze how England were able to overcome Spain, blunting their attack enough to see out the game 1-1 in normal time, and how the Lionesses held their nerve to triumph on penalties for the second time this tournament. Where does Spain go from here? What was the secret to Sarina Weigman's team talks? How will this England team be celebrating?
