LUCY Bronze insisted England had nothing to prove after booking their place in the Euro 2025 final with a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Italy in Geneva on Tuesday night, wrires Rachel Steinberg.

The defending champions were the heavy favourites in the semifinal, but it took another tournament-saving late equaliser from 19-year-old substitute Michelle Agyemang and Chloe Kelly's extra-time winner to ensure England would fight on.

The Lionesses’ never-say-die attitude has elicited plenty of deserved praise, but opening their tournament with a loss to France, then twice eking out knockout victories from the brink of elimination, has also sparked concern about England's ability to overcome their toughest challenge yet - a meeting with either Spain or Germany for the title.

“I think people from the outside think teams have to win every single game,” defender Bronze said.
