The stage is set for a thrilling climax to UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 as reigning European champions England prepare to face World Cup holders Spain in a highly anticipated final in Basel on Sunday. The matchup not only reignites one of the fiercest rivalries in modern women’s football but also serves as a dramatic sequel to the 2023 World Cup final, where Spain edged past the Lionesses.
Spain booked their place in the final in unforgettable fashion, thanks to a moment of magic from Aitana Bonmati. The two-time Ballon d’Or winner and Barcelona maestro broke German hearts in the 113th minute of extra time with a pinpoint strike from a tight angle – an effort born from meticulous pre-match analysis of German keeper Ann-Katrin Berger’s positioning.
England, meanwhile, reached their second consecutive Euros final after a stirring comeback against Italy in the semi-finals. Trailing at half-time, the Lionesses turned the tide with grit and guile, showcasing their depth, experience, and championship mettle.
Sunday’s final promises a fascinating tactical battle between Sarina Wiegman’s compact and pressing England side and Montse Tomé’s technically gifted Spanish squad. With both teams brimming with elite talent, the final is expected to be a showcase of pace, flair, and unforgiving intensity.
Can England retain their European crown, or will Spain complete the international double and avenge their past Euro shortcomings? Football fans around the world won’t want to miss this one.
