Lionesses party until 4am celebrating Euro 2025 final win - with champagne and a dog

England are European champions again after securing Euro 2025 glory by defeating world champions Spain in a dramatic penalty shootout in Basel.

Chloe Kelly’s winning spot kick and Hannah Hampton’s saves proved decisive for the Lionesses in a gripping contest that ended 1-1 after extra-time.

The Lionesses became the first England team in history to defend a major tournament title, but did it the hard way - as they had done throughout the tournament.

They will return to England as heroes on Monday and kick off their homecoming celebrations, which will continue with a homecoming parade in London tomorrow.

Sarina Wiegman paid tribute to her players to winning the most “chaotic and ridiculous” tournament - while Lucy Bronze revealed she had played with a fractured tibia.

Lionesses late for Downing Street

The England squad are behind schedule for their trip to Downing Street, where they’ll be meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock.

That was supposed to get underway at around 5pm BST, though it’ll be delayed quite a bit.
