Sarina Wiegman expresses her opinions on the Royal Family dispute ahead of England and Spain’s Euro 2025 final

Sarina Wiegman has defended the Royal Family after some England supporters expressed dissatisfaction with their decision to send a good luck message without a photo of young star Michelle Agyemang ahead of tonight’s Euro 2025 final versus Spain.

The Lionesses will be seeking revenge against their opponents, who defeated them in the 2019 Women’s World Cup final.

The Royal Family issued a good luck greeting before the match in Basel tonight, which contained various images of the players.

Agyemang, who has scored two goals in three outings to help the Lionesses reach the final, was one of the stars who was absent.

She came to the rescue against Sweden in the quarter-finals, and her stunning late equalizer against Italy forced extra time on Tuesday.

Several social media users criticized the Royal Family for excluding Agyemang. While Wiegman thinks it is ‘unfortunate’ that the 19-year-old is not featured, she does not see it as a major issue.

“I think that would never, ever be intentional,” stated the Dutchwoman.

“I believe the Royal Family’s message is that they sincerely support us, which we much appreciate. It’s regrettable that (Agyemang) is not in the image, but there are all good intentions.”

The Royal Family’s statement of support read, “Your journey to this level has been nothing short of spectacular, demonstrating the ability, drive (and nerve!) for which your team is rightfully acclaimed.

Knowing the Lionesses’ battling spirit, I expect another spectacular clash on Sunday.

“Your accomplishments continue to inspire many girls and women around the country, demonstrating once more that with effort and collaboration, anything is possible.

“Good luck to England.” May you roar to victory once more.”

Prince William faced criticism for missing the Women’s World Cup final two years ago.

The Prince of Wales, on the other hand, will be there to support the Lionesses tonight.

While England hasn’t been at its spectacular, scorching best this summer, Wiegman believes they have the confidence to overcome Spain.

“You want to do well.” You don’t want a nerve-racking game, but it shows who the competition is,” she remarked.

“The women’s game is rapidly developing, and each game is difficult.

“I’m so delighted that we were able to get through it.” When you are in certain situations, you hope that you can turn things around.

“The most important thing is that the players think we can win and change a game, and that’s what we’ve shown.”

Regarding Spain and the challenge they represent, she stated, “We’ve played each other a lot over the last couple of years because of the Nation’s League.”

“We will have learned from them via the games we’ve played.

“Tomorrow is a different scenario, but hopefully we can look at the strengths.”
