Keira Walsh has offered insight into how England can overcome Spain in Sunday’s Euro 2025 final. The Chelsea midfielder spent over two years at Barcelona and is familiar with many of Spain’s stars, including Aitana Bonmati, Alexia Putellas and Patri Guijarro. Her inside knowledge could be key to the Lionesses’ hopes of retaining their European title.
Aitana Bonmati has revealed that her stunning extra-time winner against Germany in the Euro 2025 semi-final was no fluke, crediting Spain's preparation and goalkeeping coach for spotting a weakness in German goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger's game. Her strike sent La Roja into their first-ever European Championship final, where they’ll face England in a World Cup final rematch.
Barcelona and Spain star Aitana Bonmati has been discharged from hospital after receiving treatment for viral meningitis, casting doubt over her Euro 2025 involvement. The midfielder is recovering at home and could still rejoin Spain’s squad later in the tournament, depending on her progress and a final decision by the Real Federacion Espanola de Futbol (RFEF).
