England coach Sarina Wiegman said she was proud of her team after they won a penalty shootout against Spain to secure "incredible" back-to-back Women's Euro titles on Sunday.
Defending champions England made an inauspicious start to Euro 2025 in Switzerland when they lost to France, but they went on to retain the trophy by overcoming Spain, who had beaten them in the 2023 World Cup final.
"I just can't believe it. I have a medal around my neck and we have a trophy," Wiegman told BBC One TV.
"It has been the most chaotic tournament on the pitch -- all the challenges we had on the pitch against our opponent.
"From the first game it was chaos. Losing your first game and becoming European champions is incredible.

"Football is chaos." England won the penalty shootout 3-1 after the match in Basel finished 1-1 following extra time.
"We said we can win by any means and that's what we have shown again today. I am so proud of the team and the staff. It is incredible," Wiegman, who is Dutch, said.
England captain Leah Williamson said she had a feeling her team was going to win.
"(I feel) total disbelief -- but at the same time, I knew it was going to happen. There's always a moment when I think, right girls, let's turn it on.
"The way we defended as a team, nothing came through us. It felt like it was going to be our day.
"Relentless, we have players who absolutely love it. It's just unbelievable to do it again. And after that first game, no-one thought we would -- and fair enough! But nothing has changed."
