On a historic night under Wembley’s iconic arch, the weight of the occasion was not lost on Sarina Wiegman. As her team became European champions for the first time, the England manager stated six clear words: “Most of all, we changed society.”

The impact of this victory will reverberate across the country and beyond. In front of 87,000 fans at the home of English football, the Lionesses battled past Germany to lift their first major trophy, rewriting the history books.
