Alisha Lehmann breaks silence after playing just 10 minutes during Euro 2025 as Switzerland knocked out by Spain

Alisha Lehmann has broken her silence after playing just 10 minutes during Switzerland's Euro 2025 campaign.

After successfully making it out of the group stage, the Swiss faced a tough test in the quarter-final as they took on world champions Spain at the Stadion Wankdorf.

Goals from Athenea del Castillo and Claudia Pina in the second half sealed a 2-0 victory for Spain, setting up a semi-final clash against Germany, who beat France on penalties.

On the other side of the draw, England, who came through a dramatic penalty shootout against Sweden, will take on Italy, who got the better of Norway.

After her campaign ended in disappointment, Swiss star Lehmann took to social media to post a series of pictures.

In the caption on her Instagram post, she wrote: "Thank you Switzerland. A memory we will never forget."

Speaking after the match, Spain star Aitana Bonmati said: "We were calm, we were confident. I knew we had to fight and must be patient.

"We are used to winning from the beginning. But real football is not like that, you have to compete for 90 minutes, especially at this level."

Prior to the tournament starting, Switzerland manager Pia Sundhage stated that the country hosting the Euros will be good for the future of the sport.

She said: "Switzerland has a fantastic future. If you look at those players … the future is really great. Now we’re just in the mix, so the younger players probably lean a little bit to the experienced players. Both the young players and the most experienced players are important to make that winning mix sauce."

England will take on Italy on Tuesday night, before Spain face Germany on Wednesday night.

The winners of the semi-finals will face off at the St.Jakob Park in Basel on Sunday evening.
