Where we were situated was right next to the Spanish fans, so you could hear the noise and you could feel it. But then as the game progressed there was more energy from England in the second half.

32,000 people there and they were all into it. There was always noise. It was really passionate in a good fun way.

People were wearing their shirts with pride, not just England and Spain fans, and they came to watch a really good game of football.

Leah's won it twice now so it [the Euros trophy] probably feels quite natural for her to hold it. If you're more casual about it maybe you can win it again and again. It's just her possession now.

It is quite heavy. I would say it's probably around 10 kilos. Maybe a bit heavier.

The FA's director of women's football Sue Day speaking to BBC News: "What an incredible performance. I think it's easy to forgot how difficult it is to reach major finals. This team has become so consistent, so good at doing it, so good at putting performances together, major final after major final after major final.

"They've won this Euros after winning the last Euros and that's the most phenomenal achievement. Never been done before by a team in this country so we are so proud of them, that amazing bunch of women and so proud of the team of men and women behind them too.

"It's years and years of planning and preparation and investment. It's the team behind the team, developing the players, putting the right pathways in place, identifying players young, developing coaches. It's a whole system that sits behind these amazing players that brings them to that culmination point when they make a major final.

"Sarina Wiegman has had the most amazing impact on the team and football in this country. The team has had the most amazing impact. We saw from the last Euros that participation in women and girls doubled to almost 2.5 million because of that Euros.

"What that's telling girls is you can play football, there's a place for you in football and we will see that again from this Euros and perhaps more powerfully so. It's not just telling girls you can play football it's telling them you can do anything you set your mind to and if that's the legacy these Lionesses can leave, that's pretty priceless."

England won Euro 2025 after all three knockout matches went to extra time, two of them to penalties - but captain Leah Williamson says they were not "lucky".

Their penalty shootout victory over Spain in Sunday's final came after they also required penalties to beat Sweden in the quarter-finals, then won late in extra time against Italy in the semis.

While Williamson said there had been a stroke of good fortune in England's run to glory at Euro 2025, she added they were not fortunate champions, but deserving ones.

"We have ridden our luck, but I don't think we were lucky," she told BBC Sport.

"Total disbelief, but at the same time I knew it was going to happen. There's always a moment when I think 'right girls, let's turn it on'. The way we defended as a team, nothing came through us. It felt like it was going to be our day."
