Chloe Kelly was the hero again as England retained their European Championship crown with a 3-1 penalty shoot-out win over Spain, netting the winning spot-kick after a 1-1 draw in Basel. Kelly's Arsenal team-mates Mariona Caldentey and Alessia Russo both scored headers in normal time, and though world champions Spain pushed for a winner in the additional period, they were unable to prevent a shoot-out. England were made to regret a big miss from Lauren Hemp when Spain took the lead in the 25th minute.
Spain has had a remarkable run, securing consecutive international titles and maintaining a fearsome reputation, with only one competitive defeat in over a year.
Cristobal Montoro established an economic team linked to the finance ministry, which allegedly took kickbacks from energy companies for favorable government policies, totaling at least €11 million.
Spain, the world champions and tournament favourites, has been in ominous form, topping their group with a perfect record and scoring 14 goals, led by Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati.
