The Opinion of Amit Mishra
It was more than just leading the group. It sent a message to all of the women’s Euro 2025 teams: Spain has come to dominate.
Portugal was outplayed despite their best efforts and the mental impact of recent defeats on their national football team. The difference was made by Spain’s quick pressing, accurate passing, and ability to convert opportunities.
Spain will want to maintain this momentum when they play Belgium next. If they continue playing at this level, Women’s Euro 2025 could very well become their tournament to lose.
