Spanish newspapers react to Lionesses’ Euro 2025 triumph as press hits out at ‘cocky’ Chloe Kelly
Spanish press left unimpressed by Lionesses hero
- England's Lionesses secured their second consecutive European Championship title by defeating Spain in the Euro 2025 final.
- Chloe Kelly netted the decisive penalty in the shootout, following Alessia Russo's equaliser for England after Spain had taken the lead.
- Spanish media reacted critically to Kelly's celebration, with outlets like Diario AS calling it 'unnecessary' and Marca suggesting the outcome was 'unfair' given Spain's perceived superiority.
- The victory saw England avenge their defeat to Spain in the 2023 World Cup and followed challenging come-from-behind wins against Sweden and Italy earlier in the tournament.
- The Lionesses are set to return to England for homecoming celebrations, with manager Sarina Wiegman praising her team's performance in what she described as a 'chaotic' tournament.
