England could win second major trophy most won't know about if they beat Spain in Euro 2025 final

England have the chance to retain their crown in the final of the UEFA Women’s Euros on Sunday.

The Lionesses are hoping to win their second international tournament in three attempts, with many calling for a Bank Holiday to be announced should the Lionesses emerge victorious.

They stormed to a 2-1 win over Germany in three years ago and enter Sunday's final as the defending UEFA Women’s Euros champions.

And they will lift the trophy once again if they beat Spain later this week, with a chance for Sarina Wiegman’s side to get their revenge after Spain beat them in the World Cup final two years ago.

However, it will be a tough ask.

England have yet to hit top gear during the tournament and were forced to rely on late goals to overcome Sweden and Italy respectively during their quarter-final and semi-final wins.

In stark contrast, La Roja have barely put a foot wrong, recording convincing wins against the likes of Italy, Portugal, and Belgium en route to the final, securing their place with an extra-time win over Germany last night.

If England can stun the Spanish, they will win more than just the trophy though as they will also be given the chance to win another major trophy.

Victory over Spain will see The Lionesses qualify for the Women's Finalissima.

It is an intercontinental match organised by CONMEBOL and UEFA that will see the winners of the Copa América Femenina and UEFA Women's Euros go head-to-head.

As a result, the match is played once every four years.

It is a one-off match so there are no replays or second legs, and it was first contested following the revival of the men’s equivalent in 2022.

England won the first edition of the Women's Finalissima in 2023 by beating Copa América Femenina winners Brazil 4-2 on penalties after a closely-fought 1-1 draw at Wembley Stadium.

England lost their first game of this year's tournament, falling to a 2-1 defeat against France.

However, they secured second place in their group and their progression to the knockout stages with convincing wins over Netherlands and Wales.

They have had to do things the hard way in the quarter-finals and semis though.

First, they battled back from 2-0 down against Sweden to draw 2-2 before beating their rivals on penalties.

The Lionesses then showed immense heart to score a stoppage-time equaliser against Italy before finding a winner in extra-time through super-subs Michelle Agyemang and Chloe Kelly.
