England defender Esme Morgan revealed details about the note she gave to Lucy Bronze during the dramatic quarter-final match against Sweden on the road to the Euro 2025 title.
Morgan commented that, despite being down 2-0, he felt it wasn’t the time for elimination. Bronze, who played the entire tournament with a fractured tibia, was crucial for England to defend their title, scoring the goal that started the comeback in the quarter-finals.I think sometimes you feel strange things that you can’t explain, but that reflect how you feel emotionally at that moment.
