Michelle Agyemang, the 19-year-old Arsenal forward, came off the bench in both the quarterfinal and semifinal matches to score brilliant and decisive goals. But it was Kelly, England’s hero from the last European championship, who came on as a late sub and provided a spark that carried her team to those victories.

The European Championships quarter-final clash between England and Sweden is a repeat of the 2022 semi-final in the same competition, a game England won 4-0 en route to lifting the trophy. The English will hope it’s a similar story here after a mixed bag at the Euros thus far.

England didn't just enter the quarterfinals at Euro 2025 as much as they stormed into it. The Lionesses' 6-1 win over Wales in their final group-stage game saw them become the joint second-highest scorers in the tournament with 11 goals.
