Spain faced England in the Euro 2025 final, having previously defeated them in the 2023 World Cup. Mariona Caldentey scored first for Spain, but England equalized through Alessia Russo. The Spanish team dominated extra time but failed to convert their chances, ultimately losing in the penalty shootout. Coach Montse Tome expressed that her team deserved more, citing their hard work and superiority in the match. She acknowledged that while Spain played well, football does not always reward the better team on the day.
"I think this team deserved more. I think we worked hard for a long time to reach this moment, to reach this final against a high-level national team as an event and what we saw in the game makes me think that the team deserved it."
"I think we were better, but football is a sport where the best team doesn't always win. England are an excellent national team, they showed their level during the tournament."
