Being the most skillful and technically best team at the UEFA Women's Euros was not enough to get Spain the title on Sunday.

Spain’s opponents at the Women’s European Championships maybe don’t want to hear Aitana Bonmatí says she is even better as a player after her recent spell in the hospital.

Bonmatí’s road to success at Euro 2025 has been far from easy. Just days before the tournament began, she was hospitalized with viral meningitis after coming down with a high fever on June 27. She missed Spain’s friendly against Japan and watched the match from her hospital bed.
