England Faces Spain Led by Highest-Paid Footballer Aitana Bonmati in Euro 2025 Final

England's women's football team, the Lionesses, face Spain in the Women's Euro 2025 final, seeking to become the first English side to defend a major international title. Spain's success is significantly influenced by Aitana Bonmati, reportedly the highest-paid female footballer, known for her decisive performance in the semi-final against Germany. England's squad features breakout star Michelle Agyemang, a 19-year-old striker on loan from Arsenal to Brighton, who has been instrumental in late-game comebacks, scoring crucial equalizers in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals. Agyemang’s rapid rise from an Arsenal youth player and ball boy at Wembley to a key national team player highlights her meteoric development and importance to the Lionesses. Sky Bet odds favor Alessia Russo and Aggie Beever-Jones as England's top scorers in the final, while Spain's offensive threats include players like Esther Gonzalez and Alexia Putellas. Agyemang, educated at Southend High School for Girls in Essex, embodies the new generation pushing England’s chances in this high-stakes match.
