A title game between defending champion England and World Cup winner Spain is the Women’s European Championship final that many wanted.

Spain, 2023 World Cup champions, will place their technical mastery against England, 2022 Euro champions, and tournament lionhearts. The margins for error between the two sides are slim but just enough for each squad to feel confident about their chances.

Michelle Agyemang, the 19-year-old Arsenal forward, came off the bench in both the quarterfinal and semifinal matches to score brilliant and decisive goals. But it was Kelly, England’s hero from the last European championship, who came on as a late sub and provided a spark that carried her team to those victories.
