Towards the end of an otherwise everyday press conference before the game before England played the Netherlands in December 2023 when Sarina Wiegman was asked for the song that had grabbed her ‘Spotify Wickel’ for this year. “The one with Burna Boy and Ed Sheeran,” she replied, quite unexpectedly and a few laughs. At this point someone has an idea somewhere.
England’s legacy for the profit of Euro 2025 will be far -reaching, but it is difficult to think about a better picture in order to embody the sheer chaos and the ridiculousness of what the Lionesses have achieved this summer as Wiegman’s response to Burna Boy, who appeared on the stage during her receptionist.

The shock in her face started to sing as her favorite artist For my hand If the unbelievers would have complied with unbelief if they had told a England fan that the trophy after the defeat in France or when they would come home in the quarter-finals.

Captain Leah Williamson said that England’s victory at Euro 2022 was a fairy tale, a golden month in which it felt like her name was always on the trophy, but even then the celebrations at the Trafalgar Square were hastily arranged on the following day and limited to a lot of 7,000 people.
England pretended that the lion women won Euro 2025, but when they came in a row, they ensured that their legacy is not only defined by an event, but it was done again ten times. “We write history with every single step,” said Williamson.
And so three years from Wembley have 65,000 people from the shopping center and in Williamson’s eyes when England’s open bus creeps towards Buckingham Palace. There is not only Burna Boy and the sight of Wiegman dances and raps on stage Proud – The hymn before the game before all six games in Switzerland. There are new stars in Hannah Hampton and Michelle Agyemang who tried to believe that everything was real. “It’s crazy what we did,” said the 19-year-old.
“We do this for ourselves and our team, but we do it for the country and we do it for young girls,” fought Williamson and fighting to find the words. Chloe Kelly, the master of coolness, simply shook her head as she went to the top deck and stared at the fair. “This is sick,” added Georgia Stanway. In the crowd, a young black girl holds a cardboard shield over her head with the inscription “Future Jess Carter”, with a downward arrow to be given to her. If you can see it, you can believe it.

Incidentally, Carter was missing at the celebrations because she has already returned to the USA to pursue her club Gotham FC, which will be removed in Chicago Stars in the NWSL on Saturday. But it is also typical of Carter that England’s undisclosed hero did not get the praise that she deserved after she had misused as she did in the final.

However, it is clear that England did not expect this reception after returning home on Monday. “It is incredible to do it again to return to it,” said Lucy Bronze. “I haven’t seen anything like that.” It is of course due to Kelly to deliver the first expedant and to force Alex Scott to apologize to break the water sheath on BBC One. “It’s something special,” said Kelly before apologizing on social media. “Oops,” she wrote. “The feelings defeated me.”
But Kelly wasn’t the only one who found it difficult to record what they saw. There is also an alternative reality in which England either does not react correctly to the defeat in France and falls out of the group phases, or Sweden achieves shooting during the quarterfinales, where nothing happens.

There are no quantities of 65,000 people for the lionesses who return home, but with their cocks between their legs, only ask what it would mean for the growth of the women’s game, in view of the correlation between the success of the tournament and the part of women in the Super League of women. Instead, there are depressed discussions and predictions of the stalling impulse.

During their time in Switzerland, several English players were asked how they manage to bear this weight of responsibility. They replied by insisting that it was not a burden at all, but an opportunity. “We know that we are very happy in England that it really explodes in success,” said Bronze before the quarter -finals. “Do we really see that as a reason for the profit? Not really. My main reason for winning the tournament is to raise the trophy.”

Somehow England and nature, how the lion women brought them back home, only contributes to their legend. The comebacks and punishments. The spirit and struggle and “real England”. It means that a team of history makers goes one step further and reveals the sides that we have not yet seen. There are tens of thousands in the shopping center and in the Red Pyro above the Buckingham Palace. There is Wiegman dancing with Burna Boy. “Is that real?” She ended. You should better believe it.
