Euro 2025 final: Five Spanish players to watch

Get ready for a huge final at the women's Euros, as the two best sides in Europe go head-to-head.

England will be hoping to defend the title which they won at the last European Championship in 2022, but it won't be easy.

They face Spain in a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final - which Spain won.

But who are the top Spanish footballers to look out for? Here are some of their star players hoping to lift the trophy this weekend.

Aitana Bonmati

Current Ballon d'Or holder Aitana Bonmati is one of Spain's most talked about players.

The Barcelona midfielder has won football's top award for the last two years.

In fact, her trophy cabinet is looking pretty full.

Bonmati is also the current holder of the Best Fifa Women's Player, which is presented to the footballer considered to have performed the best over the previous calendar year.

At the Women's World Cup in 2023, she was awarded the Fifa Golden Ball Award, given to the tournament's best player.

No wonder she's the highest-paid female footballer in the world at the moment, earning around £830,000 a year.

Salma Paralluelo

Salma Paralluelo joined Spanish giants Barcelona in 2022, and the 21-year-old has already been making a big impression at the club - scoring 38 goals in 53 appearances.

Growing up she was a talented track and field athlete, and she's managed to convert those skills into becoming a versatile striker, known for making great runs down the wing.

Paralluelo has already enjoyed huge success with Spain, both with the youth and senior teams.

She is the first player in history, male or female, to have won all three Fifa World Cups - having won the Women's World Cup in 2023 as well as the 2022 U20 World Cup AND the U17 World Cup in 2018.

In fact, at the most recent Women's World Cup, held in Australia and New Zealand, Paralluelo was awarded the Best Young Player of the tournament.

Alexia Putellas

Alexia Putellas is one of Spain's most famous footballers.

Like Bonmati, Putellas has also won the women's Ballon d'Or on two occasions - in 2021 and 2022.

She is widely considered to be one of the greatest female footballers of all time.

The Barcelona captain is one of the most honoured players in the women's game - having won a whole heap of major club and individual awards.

Putellas is back in the squad after missing the last European Championships due to injury.

She's been making her presence known, so far she's been involved in the most goals and created the most chances of any player at Euro 2025.

Olga Carmona

You might recognise the name Olga Carmona.

In the 2023 Women's World Cup final against the Lionesses, she won the match for Spain after slotting the only goal of the game past England goalkeeper Mary Earps.

The 25-year-old is known for being one of Spain's most versatile players - a left back who is also able to score and provide assists.

Earlier this year, she was named in the FIFPRO World 11 team of the year, which represents the best footballers in the current game - as voted for by fellow pro players.

Carmona has also got new challenges waiting for her after the Euros.

She recently signed for French club Paris Saint-Germain on a three-year contract from Real Madrid, where she was captain.

Clàudia Pina

Pina is widely seen as one of the biggest new talents in the senior Spain squad.

The 23-year-old actually began her career playing futsal - a type of five-a-side football that is often played indoors on a much smaller pitch or court.

Pina plays for Barcelona, and made her first official appearance for the senior squad in 2018 at the age of just 16.

She's established herself as a creative attacker and a gifted goal scorer, known for her long-range efforts.

The Lionesses will need to keep an extra close eye out for the striker.

Pina scored both goals against England in Spain's 2-1 victory at the last meeting between the two teams, in the women's Nations League in June.
