Chloe Kelly bizarrely labelled 'cocky' by Spanish media for unseen 'unnecessary' gesture after Euro 2025-winning penalty for the Lionesses

<p>The Arsenal forward held her nerve to convert the decisive penalty in a final shootout that saw the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-women-player-ratings-spain-hannah-hampton-chloe-kelly-lionesses-sarina-wiegman-euros-three-peat-penalty-shootout/blt7d2b75bba266cfa0" target="_blank">Lionesses make history by becoming the first England team to win a major international title on foreign soil</a>.</p><p>They have gone back-to-back on the European Championship front, with Kelly having also been the hero when netting an extra-time winner against Germany at Wembley Stadium back in 2022.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chloe-kelly-celebrates-after-scoring-winning-penalty-lionesses-against-spain-euro-2025-final/blt78834aa8979c9f07" target="_blank">firing home against Spain, Kelly made a point of heading towards the England fans</a> housed behind the net that she just hit.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Despite Kelly’s eyes being locked firmly on celebrating supporters, Spanish outlet <a href="https://as.com/futbol/videos/esto-sobra-amiga-el-chulesco-gesto-a-cata-coll-de-kelly-tras-marcarle-el-penalti-decisivo-v/ " target="_blank"><em>AS</em></a> claims that the Lionesses star "unnecessarily" diverted her path towards her rival. They said: “This is unnecessary, my friend: Kelly’s cocky gesture to Cata Coll after scoring the decisive penalty. The England specialist changed her run during her penalty celebration to get past the goalkeeper she had just beaten.”</p>

WHAT AS SAID

<p><em>AS </em>went on to suggest that World Cup winners <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionesses-hero-hannah-hampton-penalty-secrets-revealed-england-goalkeeper-euro-2025-final-spain/blt6335e6ff35469c85" target="_blank">Spain were “robbed” by the Lionesses after dominating much of the 120 minutes</a> prior to an epic shootout. They added: “The dream ends in a nightmare. Spain lost the European Championship on penalties. England tied a match that Spain largely dominated.</p><p>“History is made by victories, and also by defeats. Spain fell in the Euro Cup final but left its name sealed in gold. England robbed them of their dream; the world champions couldn’t close the circle they began to write two years ago in Sydney. They couldn’t have been crueler in the penalty shootout, tossing a few dice in the air.”</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Sarina Wiegman and her squad will care little for the opinion of others, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/sarina-wiegman-winners-losers-lionesses-euros-defence-chloe-kelly-hannah-hampton/bltaf22f97d9c107ecb" target="_blank">England having executed their gameplan perfectly</a>. They were able to frustrate Spain for long periods and walked away with the ultimate prize after displaying commendable fighting spirit.</p>
