Spain captain Irene Paredes said Saturday her team have been "knocking down walls" in helping women's football grow thanks to their remarkable achievements as they prepare to face England in the Euro 2025 final.

Despite all their success, Spain have never won the Euros, and their 2023 World Cup win was overshadowed by controversy. On Sunday, they hope that the focus will be firmly on them.

Torrejón retired from international soccer after the 2019 World Cup as Spain’s then most-capped player with 90 appearances. She has since helped Barcelona win three Champions League titles and a slew of other trophies. She also played a part in one of the revolts Spain’s women have staged to demand more from the men who run the game.
