Hannah Hampton called out by Euro 2025 rival Cata Coll after Lionesses hero claimed she threw Spain goalkeeper's bottle into crowd to stop penalty shootout tactics

After England’s Euro 2025 final win over Spain, Hampton revealed she spotted penalty-taking notes on Coll’s bottle before the shootout. She claimed to have replaced it with her own blank one and thrown Coll’s into the crowd. While Coll still saved two penalties, Chloe Kelly’s winning spot-kick sealed the Lionesses’ second consecutive European title.

Coll took to X to respond to Hampton’s interview, writing: “Okay, okay, calm down, calm down. At least if it were true…”. The Spanish goalkeeper’s post suggests she disputes Hampton’s version of events. She did not provide further detail but appeared to downplay the story entirely.

The exchange has added an extra twist to England and Spain’s growing rivalry in women’s football. Hampton’s comments came just as she was named among five Lionesses shortlisted for the Women’s Ballon d’Or. Coll, meanwhile, remains one of Spain’s top players despite her team’s defeat in the final.

Both players are expected to feature for England and Spain for the next few years, and the light-hearted back-and-forth could add extra spice to their next encounter. For now, Hampton is focusing on club football while Coll continues her exploits with Spain and Barcelona.
