Team Creation and Path to the Final

England's journey to the final has been one of ups and downs. They faltered early in the tournament, losing to France 2-1 in the opening match. The defending Euro title holders recovered with flair, routing the Netherlands 4-0 and Wales 6-1 to sweep through the group phase.

Meanwhile, Spain have been in sparkling form all tournament. La Roja swept through the group stage with an immaculate record, winning all three contests with the full complement of nine points as they scored 14 times and conceded only 3.

Their possession-based, attack-minded approach registered four consecutive multi-goal wins to begin the Euros with a +15 goal difference. Spain only encountered stiff resistance for the first time against Germany in the semi-finals, where they were level 0-0 at the end of 90 minutes for the first time all tournament as the match turned into a defensive stalemate.

Spain are on a 10-match winning and undefeated streak across all competition, their previous loss having occurred back in February – ironically against England in the Nations League contest. Their overwhelming success has sealed their role as favorites for the tournament as they look to add the European title to the possession they won the World Cup.

Key Figures and Recent Form

This final will see some of the world's finest talent take the field, and individual brilliance may swing the contest. For the English team to watch is Super-Sub turned potential starter Chloe Kelly. Kelly is comfortable playing on the grand stage – she scored the winning goal for the Lionesses when they beat Germany to win the Euro 2022 final and scored the winning penalty when they defeated Albania to win the 2023 Finalissima.

In the tournament up to now, she played as substitute for all fixtures and registered one goal and one assist. Her performance was decisive for the final two fixtures for the Lionesses – she created one of the late assists for Sweden and then scored the extra-time decider for Italy.

Spain, on the other hand, has a midfield full of stars and a lethal attack. Alexia Putellas, the creative hub of Spain, has been creating chances – she's fashioned up 18 chances from open play till now, more than any other player at Euro 2025.

Though Putellas was magnificent in the group stages, it's Aitana Bonmatí who took the headlines in the knockouts. After recovering from a health issue ahead of the tournament, Bonmatí showed why she's a two-time winner of the Ballon d'Or. Bonmatí provided a magical backheel assist in the quarter-final and then struck the extra-time winner in the semi-finals, rising to the occasion when it counted the most.

Final Prediction

This one is turning into a close, tactical affair with something of an "irresistible force vs immovable object" feel about it. Spain have been the most capable and technically proficient team in the tournament so far, dominating possession and playing with finesse.

England, on the other hand, has shown that they are at their best when things get ugly – tested to the limit with knockout edge-of-the-seat tension and unnatural ability to come back from the brink of defeat. But on form and quality, Spain take the small nod. Their midfield dominance and depth up forward might just prove too much for England.

The pick here is the 2-1 win for Spain – the gruelling success where England give it the good fight, might just take the lead first, but Spain quality edges it by the final whistle. An electrifying match is lined up between the reigning European champions and the world champions – the grand finale to showcase the best of women's football.
