Now we’ve had time to catch our breath after that epic triumph for England, and been able to enjoy the celebrations that followed, Millie and Rach sit back and reflect on the Euros that was.
It was the off-pitch stuff that really stood out among the most memorable moments. From Chloe Kelly’s lucky shin pads to Hannah Hampton opening up about her challenging journey to becoming a goalkeeper. Then there was Ella Toone who poignantly shared that her nan passed away the morning of the final. And super sub Lotte Wubben-Moy’s key role in the squad as designated poet.
The girls also look back at what Switzerland were like as hosts, and what it was like to watch a tournament from the sofa - a first for them both!
