The day is here – the Lionesses stand on the brink of history as they seek to secure back-to-back European Championships against Spain tonight.
For a third time in a row, England are in a major final having won their first European crown in 2022. Spain denied Sarina Wiegman’s side World Cup glory a year later but after that heartbreak, a shot at redemption awaits tonight in Basel.
After an opening game defeat to France, England trounced Netherlands and Wales to secure their place in the knockout stage of the competition. But it has been nerve-wracking stuff since.
In scenes not too dissimilar from Gareth Southgate’s side labouring their way to last summer’s men’s final, the Lionesses left it late to beat Sweden and Italy.
But England’s comeback queens have done it the hard way and need one more big performance to write their name into history.
Metro’s LIVE blog will bring you all the Lionesses news and build-up as we count down to kick-off in Switzerland.
