The Lionesses will look to return to the Euros final but face a tricky Italy side after surviving a penalty shoot-out to stay alive at the tournament

Watch Sweden v England on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Thursday 17 July, with kick off at 8pm BST. Gabby Logan is live in Zurich as England take on Sweden in their quarter-final at the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 tournament.

The European Championships quarter-final clash between England and Sweden is a repeat of the 2022 semi-final in the same competition, a game England won 4-0 en route to lifting the trophy. The English will hope it’s a similar story here after a mixed bag at the Euros thus far.

As a bloodied Hannah Hampton saved two penalties to send England into the Euro 2025 semi-finals, it was all the more impressive given she was advised at a young age against pursuing football because of an eye condition that affects her depth perception.

Bronze, in her seventh major tournament, was exceptional for England as she helped them battle back from 2-0 down to force a penalty shootout. England were staring at an early exit from Euro 2025 with Sweden in control of the game until Wiegman made a flurry of substitutions around the 70-minute mark.

Raw emotion and a never-say-die attitude came to the fore as the European champions somehow made it into the semi-finals

England beat Sweden on penalties in the Euro 2025 quarter-finals; Chloe Kelly and Hannah Hampton shone in Zurich; Leah Williamson could be an injury doubt for the semi-final against Italy; Michelle Agyemang is proving why she was selected,
