Chloe Kelly choked back the tears and said she was “proud to be English” after scoring the winning penalty as Lionesses became back-to-back European champions.
“I am so proud of this team,” Kelly told the BBC in her first interview as a double Euros winner. “So grateful to wear this badge. So proud to be English.
“I was cool, I was composed. I knew I was going to hit the back of the net. I don’t miss penalties twice. Unbelievable. All the staff behind us and Sarina Wiegman – she has done it again! Unbelievable.
“It is going to be crazy. I hope the whole of England comes out to support us and shows their love to these girls as they deserve it.”
