Lionesses taught 'great lesson' as they lick wounds
Daily Express
|June 04, 2025
ENGLAND captain Leah Williamson admitted the Lionesses were taught a “great lesson” after missing out on the Nations League finals following this defeat by Spain.
-
But head coach Sarina Wiegman said she was not concerned by the loss with just a month to go before Euro 2025 gets under way.
Alessia Russo had put England ahead on her 50th international appearance with a great run and shot.
But supersub Claudia Pina scored twice to earn Spain a comeback win in Barcelona.
Williamson said: “In the second half they pressed a bit higher and we struggled. We couldn't keep the ball as well as we did in the first half.
“We didn't have any real threat. Under that much pressure against the top sides that's what happens. We just have to be better on the ball and find solutions quicker. It was a great lesson.”
