England women made history by beating Spain 3-1 in a nerve-wracking penalty shootout in the Euro 2025 final, after the two teams played out a dramatic 1-1 draw over 120 minutes.

Notably, defender Lucy Bronze is one of the rare pillars of the "Three Lions" who appeared in all 6 matches throughout the tournament with a broken tibia in her left leg, a testament to her durability and influence.

The truth was only revealed by player Lucy Bronze herself after winning the championship: "I played the whole tournament with a broken tibia, but no one knew. Today I hurt my other knee again."

With the steely spirit of a true warrior, the number 2 player affirmed: "If that's what it takes to play for England, I'll do it. It hurts, but I did it."

After the historic victory over Spain, the image of Bronze celebrating with her teammates with a bandage wrapped around her right knee, even having difficulty walking, made the story of her sacrifice even more touching.

The Times did not hesitate to comment on Bronze that "many of her male colleagues must admire her". Winning Euro 2025 is not only a precious title for the England team, but also the 26th trophy in Lucy Bronze's illustrious career.

As one of the top stars in women's football in the world today, the Chelsea right-back has played for prestigious clubs such as Lyon, Manchester City and Barcelona. She is now known not only for her outstanding talent but also for her extraordinary will, willing to endure extreme pain to dedicate herself completely to the flag.

Lucy Bronze's story is a living testament to the spirit of "never giving up" and a burning passion for football.
