England and Spain will face off in the Euro 2025 final, a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final which Spain won. The match, set for Sunday, pits the two top teams in Europe against each other. Former England players Ellen White and Steph Houghton expressed excitement and confidence in England's ability to win, highlighting the "one-off game" nature of the final and England's capacity to beat anyone on their day.

Significant changes have occurred in both squads since the World Cup final. England has seen key player retirements, including goalkeeper Mary Earps, midfielder Fran Kirby, and captain Millie Bright, leading to a "new era" and the emergence of new players. Spain, while retaining core players like Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas, has seen a change in management and the absence of Jenni Hermoso due to the off-field controversies surrounding the previous federation president, Luis Rubiales, who was found guilty of sexual assault.

Despite the changes, England's recent victory over Spain in February and their decent overall record against them suggest a competitive match. Experts point to the midfield battle as crucial, with the need for England to find a way to counter Spain's possession-based style.

Impact Statement: The Euro 2025 final will be a highly anticipated rematch with significant implications for both national teams' legacies and the future of women's football in Europe.
