England's Agyemang Named Young Player as Euro 2025 Ends in Shootout Win

England striker Michelle Agyemang was named the Young Player of the Tournament at Euro 2025 following England's successful defense of their European title with a penalty shootout win over Spain in the final. The 19-year-old Arsenal forward, despite playing only 138 minutes and not starting any matches, scored crucial late equalisers in the quarter-final against Sweden and the semi-final against Italy, helping keep England's campaign alive. UEFA's Technical Observer Group praised her significant impact, highlighting her decisive contributions off the bench. Spain's midfielder and Ballon d'Or holder Aitana Bonmati was named Player of the Tournament, overcoming a bout of viral meningitis to score the semi-final winner against Germany. Spain's Esther Gonzalez finished as the tournament's top scorer with four goals. Agyemang expressed gratitude for her rapid rise and encouraged others to believe in their abilities and persevere.
