The stats behind the French women's stunning win over England 🚀 | OneFootball

The beginning of a great epic?

This Sunday, the French women's team made a perfect start to Euro 2025 by defeating England (2-1), the reigning European champions.

This victory for the Bleues is a real feat, given that it's the first time the title holder has fallen at their first hurdle, according to Opta.

Sports journalist Daniel Marques also tells us that France has beaten a top 5 FIFA-ranked team for only the third time in its history. A success that softens a very difficult record so far (1 draw and 12 losses).

Finally, with this success, the Bleues also claimed the scalp of the illustrious coach Sarina Wiegman. Before this match, whether in the World Cup, the Euros or the Olympics, the Dutchwoman had only lost two of her 32 matches in major competition. Moreover, her two losses each time occurred in the final (World Cup 2019 with the Netherlands and World Cup 2023 with England).

Can France go all the way this time?
