“Actually, I’ve played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia, and then I injured my knee on the other leg,” Bronze declared. “That’s why I received a lot of praise from the girls after the match against Sweden, as I’ve been in a lot of pain. If that’s what it takes to play for England, that’s what I’ll do.” Bronze added that it was “very painful”. Currently, Bronze holds the England record for most appearances in a major tournament, totaling 36.

“I think we never lost faith in ourselves,” Bronze said. “There was a lot of noise from outside. We stuck together and fought. Winning on penalties. This team is very inspiring. What we have done today is incredible.”

“Winning on penalties is an incredible feeling, but losing on penalties is a horrible way to lose a final. I know many of these Barça girls who miss penalties. It’s difficult, I’ve been there a couple of years ago. “This year was destined for England. Today we have shown resilience. We have shown the whole world that believes in itself no matter what people say about you.”
