Lionesses beat Italy on Tuesday and will defend their title against Spain, who beat Germany in Wednesday’s semi-final

Crossing has been one of England's go-to moves at Euro 2025. The defending champions have attempted the most crosses of any side so far (152), and their 51 crosses against Italy in the semifinals was a single-game record since Euro 2013.

A title game between defending champion England and World Cup winner Spain is the Women’s European Championship final that many wanted. How they got to Basel on Sunday is a whole other story.
