I don't think the England players will realise what they have done until their lives go back to normal and they get back to daily routines like training with their clubs.

That's when the girls will really understand what this has done to them.

Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted leaving Old Trafford early on Sunday after he had been replaced at half-time during Manchester United's pre-season draw with Rayo Vallecano.

Ronaldo left with Portugal team-mate Diogo Dalot, who had been sat in the directors box with a number of United players, all of whom left their seats 10 minutes before the end of the game.

It was not clear whether Ronaldo had permission to exit before the end of the game.

New boss Erik ten Hag did not do a formal post-match press conference, he wasn't asked by MUTV about Ronaldo's departure and United officials did not respond to a question about it.

The former Real Madrid and Juventus forward was making his first pre-season appearance having not travelled on United's tour of Thailand and Australia.

It is known he wants to leave the club but was given a positive ovation from the home supporters in a near 70,000 crowd at Old Trafford.

Sarina Wiegman may have named the same starting XI for all six games of Euro 2022 but her use of substitutes also played a massive factor in England's success.

Ella Toone came off the bench to score a late equaliser in the Lionesses' quarter-final win over Spain and she scored the opener in the final, just six minutes after coming on.

It was a tight game at Wembley until Keira Walsh played a perfectly-weighted through ball for Ella Toone to run on to and the substitute held her nerve to produce a cool finish to break the deadlock.

Manchester City have hit a stumbling block in their efforts to sign Brighton defender Marc Cucurella.

City are looking elsewhere after being put off by a supposed £50m price tag.

However, Brighton actually want more than that.

BBC Sport has been told the club regard Cucurella as a better - and rarer - talent than former defender Ben White, who they sold to Arsenal for £50m 12 months ago.

They don't need the money and Cucurella, who has put in a transfer request, has a contract that runs to 2026.

Brighton would only contemplate a sale if they received an offer they regard as truly exceptional.

We'll bring you more from today's papers and the latest transfer gossip, plus more reaction from the jubilant Lionesses.

Then from 11:00 BST the team will be having a victory parade in London, with celebrations centred around Trafalgar Square.

How many of you are heading down there to join the party?

And look at today's papers, the Lionesses are all over the front and back papers.

Quite right too, it is all everyone's talking about.

Coming into the tournament, Fran Kirby hadn't played for months due to fatigue issues.

But the Chelsea playmaker proved her fitness, earned a place in the squad and then a spot in Sarina Wiegman's starting XI.

And she kept it too as England named the same starting line-up in all six matches, becoming the first team in European Championship history (men’s and women’s) to name the same starting XI in every game from the group stage to the final.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast, the Football Association's chief executive Mark Bullingham said that England's Euro 2022 success will "turbo charge" the women's game in this country.

"The last few years have been incredible," he said. "We have invested really heavily and the Lionesses have taken their opportunity and they have produced something incredible. It's been an amazing month and an amazing day yesterday.

"I think it will really turbo charge everything we have been doing in the women's game. There is no reason why we shouldn't have the same number of girls playing as boys and it will inspire a whole new generation of players."

And England fans celebrated inside and outside the stadium, up and down the country...

After the presentations, the party continued on the pitch and in the stands... and during coach Sarina Wiegman's post-match news conference.

And no party is complete without some table dancing. Check out Mary Earps and Lucy Bronze below.

The Queen led the tributes to England's Euro 2022 winners, sending a message of congratulations in which she called them "an inspiration".

The Lionesses beat Germany 2-1 at Wembley thanks to goals from substitutes Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly.

"My warmest congratulations, and those of my family, go to you all on winning the European Women's Championships," a statement from the UK monarch said.

"It is a significant achievement for the entire team, including your support staff.

"The Championships and your performance in them have rightly won praise. However, your success goes far beyond the trophy you have so deservedly earned.

"You have all set an example that will be an inspiration for girls and women today, and for future generations.

"It is my hope that you will be as proud of the impact you have had on your sport as you are of the result today."

England have been singing the lament about football coming home for an age - but after the barren years of misery, it finally came through the door into the welcoming arms of an exultant Wembley as the Lionesses were crowned European champions.

The bare statistics state they beat old rivals and eight-time European champions Germany 2-1 after extra time. Sounds straightforward enough, except the wider context makes their triumph a seismic moment for women's football and the sport in general.

It was 7.51pm in the evening Wembley sunshine when the outstanding captain, Leah Williamson, lifted that precious piece of silverware above her head and it all actually felt, looked and sounded real.

England's magnificent Lionesses were Euro 2022 champions and had secured their place in history. England's women had won their first major trophy. An England senior football team had won its first major trophy in 56 years.

On a day when 87,192 packed Wembley, an all-time Uefa tournament record, coach Sarina Wiegman and her players made themselves legends.

England's women were centre stage. Winners. No-one can ever take this away from them.

The years of disappointment were over. England's football had a success story - a winning story - to tell at last, and no-one deserved it more than a coach and squad that have quite simply changed the face of women's football in this country throughout a flawless, superbly managed Euro 2022 campaign over the past month.

Here's more from Phil on England's memorable win.
