Spain’s 3-1 win over Italy in Bern confirmed their position as Group B winners and maintained their 100 per cent record at Euro 2025

Spain forward Lucía García has told ESPN she is blown away by teammate Alexia Putellas every time she trains with her.

The stoppage-time leveler by substitute Riola Xhemaili advanced the Swiss at the expense of the Finns — and earned the hosts a full week of anticipation before its first ever knockout game at a Women’s Euros. The wait was a mighty long time — 41 years — and will end next Friday in Bern, likely against world champion Spain.

Spain failed to heed that warning and paid the price when they failed to clear a low cross. Arsenal’s Mariona Caldentey for once displayed a heavy touch and Italy’s gloriously intrepid right wing-back Elisabetta Oliviero used her left foot to expertly redirect the loose ball into the back of the net.

Spain will have to defend better against teams that hit them on the counter-attack as they go into the knockout stages of the Women's Euros, midfielder Patri said on Friday after their 3-1 win over Italy.

Alexia Putellas says she feels better than ever as Spain prepares for Euro 2025 in Switzerland. The Barcelona star missed the 2022 tournament after tearing her ACL.
