Michelle Agyemang, a key player for England, attributes the Lionesses' remarkable Euro 2025 victory to the strong sense of family and unity within the squad. She emphasized that every member, from players to backroom staff, felt valued and contributed to their success.
England secured their second consecutive Women's European Championship by defeating Spain in a dramatic penalty shoot-out, following a 1-1 draw. Their journey to victory was marked by resilience, often coming from behind and navigating through multiple extra-time matches.
Agyemang herself had a standout tournament, becoming the first teenager since 2009 to score twice in a single edition of the Women's Euros. Her impressive performances earned her the Young Player of the Tournament award.
"Everyone, no matter your role, the backroom staff and the staff behind the staff, everyone is valued in this team," Agyemang stated. "To see it come off in the end shows how together we were, and I'm so grateful that we have such a good team around us, and it made it so special."
Despite being a relatively new face in the squad, Agyemang quickly integrated, thanks to the welcoming environment. She highlighted Alex Greenwood, who had a similar experience as the youngest member of the 2015 World Cup squad, for providing support and guidance.
"A lot of them took me in because I was the youngest in the team," Agyemang explained. "It can be hard sometimes, but everyone was so willing to help me. They took me under their wing. I have only been around for a short time, but they were so loving, kind and caring. I have never been part of anything like that before."
