In her post-match comments, Bronze stated: “I think people from the outside think teams have to win every single game. I think people talk about consistency with this England team, we’ve done six consecutive semi-finals, three consecutive finals, who else has done that? Nobody. You know, Spain and Germany are fantastic teams, even they haven’t managed that feat.

“It’s hard to stay at the top in international football, so many teams have performances, then it’s up and down, they develop, but this team just keeps fighting until the end. I feel like we didn’t have anything to prove because we’ve been there, we’ve done it many, many times. It’s just the fact that the game’s getting better, international football’s not as easy as it used to be. Everybody’s fighting and everyone wants to win and everyone feels like they can win.”

Spotlight on Rising Star Michelle Agyemang in Euro 2025

Bronze also commended the impact of emerging talent Michelle Agyemang, who became the youngest goalscorer in the competition. With three goals in her initial four appearances for the senior team, the young striker nearly clinched the game against Italy by rattling the crossbar in extra time. Bronze reflected on her breakout: “She’s a little bit of the unknown and she brings something different to her other strikers and our attackers, which maybe other teams aren’t used to playing against – especially in an England shirt.

“So I think it gives her a lot of confidence and the team give her a lot of freedom, Sarina does. We want her to be confident and just play good football and try and score goals. When she scored the first one, we were like, ‘go and do it again’. And you saw that in the rest of the game. She was going on by herself, she had two or three good runs in extra-time where she was like, ‘I’m going to take this team to the final’. It’s amazing to see and I think that gives the rest of the team confidence.”
