Alisha Lehmann has issued a statement in the wake of Switzerland's crushing defeat to Norway at the Women's Euros.

Hosts Switzerland suffered a 2-1 defeat in their opening fixture of the Women's Euros on Wednesday.

The Swiss opened the scoring when Nadine Riesen pounced on a loose ball and finished from close range.

Ada Hegerberg levelled proceedings just nine minutes after the break, with Julia Stierli converting into her own net to give two-time European champions Norway a big 2-1 victory.

Switzerland open their campaign with a bruising defeat, having been buoyed by the home crowd.

The defeat to Norway comes after Switzerland were beaten 7-1 by an under-15 boys team.

Lehmann, who was an unused substitute against Norway, has since shared a statement on social media following her side's defeat.

On her Instagram story, she posted an image of herself, accompanied with the caption: "Thanks to all the fans for the amazing support, you wear [sic] amazing."

Switzerland manager Pia Sundhage commented on her side's defeat, too.

Assessing whether her players embraced the pressure, Sundhage replied: "Oh yeah. I have never seen that kind of locker room previously and at the hotel before we left.

"Step by step, the best part is it's different players that use their voice. We were prepared. I talked to them after the game and it's so important to use your language and your body language and words as well after defeat because we still have a chance to play the quarter-final."

She added: "We start with Iceland and if we play a good game then we put ourselves in a good spot."

It's a setback for Switzerland, who want to replicate England's success as hosts three years ago and hope Euro 2025 can be a springboard to help their domestic women's game.

Switzerland resume their campaign on Sunday when they face Iceland before taking on Finland next Thursday.
