England to play Spain in Women’s Euros final
by 0 
England will play Spain in the Women’s Euros final on Sunday – a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final.
The Spanish side saw off Germany 1-0, with Aitana Bonmati scoring the only goal of the game in the 23rd minute of extra time.
The midfielder appeared to be lining up a cross before instead taking a shot from a tight angle.
While Spain are the reigning Women’s World Cup champions, this marks the first time they have made it to a Euros final.
It is also the first time Germany have been eliminated at the tournament’s semi-final stage since 1997, and just the fifth time they’ve failed to score in 51 European Championship matches.

Analysis – these Lionesses never give in
England haven’t had the smoothest journey to the Euros 2025 final.
The Lionesses’ campaign got off to a shaky start when they lost 2-1 to France in the first match of the group stages, but hopes were lifted after they sailed past the Netherlands and Wales to reach the quarter-finals.
They then won their first knockout match against Sweden in a dramatic penalty shootout, before booking their place in the final with a win in extra time over Italy on Tuesday.
