The Lionesses took to the stage to a roar of cheers and whistles from thousands of fans in London’s Trafalgar Square on Monday as they continue to enjoy their historic victory over Germany in the Euro 2022 final. London-born Chloe Kelly, who scored the winning goal, bravely told the crowd her shirt was staying on after her iconic celebration on Sunday night as the team talked about a night of partying in the wake of their 2- 1. Coach Sarina Wiegman said after some much-needed rest, the next goal was to qualify for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup to be hosted across Australia and New Zealand. Captain Leah Williamson said Ms Wiegman was “England’s missing ingredient” and praised the coach for rallying the team. “I’m proud to wear this patch and even more proud to share the field with this team.”

Win “massive” moment for women’s football
Ryan Grumbridge, 40, and Gemma Grumbridge, 43, traveled from Oldham to London to watch the Euro final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday night with their two daughters. Mr Grubridge, who coaches 250 girls’ football club Crompton FC, said this was a “huge” moment for women’s football. “It’s good for them to get some recognition – I hope it keeps growing and growing, and we’ll continue to get decent-sized crowds.” He said the lionesses are “fantastic role models” for his daughters Ruby and Amelia, aged 11 and 13. “They also have a fantastic bond,” he added. “They seem great friends, [Ruby] follows them all on TikTok.” Mrs Grubridge told the PA news agency it was “absolutely amazing” to be in London to watch the match at Wembley, with “a lot of singing, a lot of cheering… unbelievable”. 1659353060
