Richard Lapworth has messaged in to say:

“Wow. So excited. Let’s hope the “proper English” show up. Spain are going to be so good going forward. England expects… and prays for victory. Go Lionesses!”

Few could have predicted the rollercoaster of emotions England would take us on across five games, and trying to guess an outcome of a mouthwatering final between the European Championship holders and World Cup winners is futile as a result…

England fans, if anything is going to get you excited ahead of the match, it’s this…

Lauren James is expected to be available for England this evening after completing a full training session with no issues yesterday, meaning the Lionesses should have a full squad going into the clash.

Spain are also expected to have a full 23-player squad available for the match.

Preamble

Today is the day.

England face Spain this evening in the Euro 2025 final, a rematch of the 2023 World Cup final of which La Roja clinched a 1-0 win. Spain go into the clash having won each of their five games at the tournament so far, while the Lionesses have lost one and endured two near-misses along the way.

Nevertheless, England captain Leah Williamson is confident that her team can deliver on the biggest European stage once again.

I’ll be with you throughout the day, counting down to kick-off and bringing you the latest from Switzerland.
