'Tomorrow we won't be friends' - Vivienne Miedema opens up on facing partner Beth Mead at Euro 2025 as Lionesses take on the Netherlands

Women's EURO

England

Italy

<p>Miedema and Mead will face off on Wednesday evening in a game that England simply have to win to keep their qualification hopes alive, after their opening-game defeat to France. The pair have been in a relationship since 2022 and both have previously won the competition. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Miedema and Mead played together for Arsenal between 2017 and 2024, before the former left to join Manchester City. Both have battled back from severe injuries to play at Euro 2025, but the Dutch striker insists the pair will relish the competition as they clash in a do-or-die fixture. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Miedema told <a href="https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/van-partners-tot-tegenstanders-de-regels-van-miedema-en-mead" target="_blank">reporters</a>: “You know both what you’re going through, we’re both at a big tournament. We can talk about everything, but not about the game. I have no idea if she can start or if she comes in like a substitute. The only thing we tell each other is whether we feel good or not.</p><p>“But tomorrow we won’t be friends on the field. I’m there as Dutch and I will do anything to win that match. If that's not good for Beth, I'm happy with it. It's part of the game. I have often been on the other side, but I am happy if we can continue tomorrow.”</p>

WHAT MIEDEMA SAID

<p>The partners will line up against each other on Wednesday evening, with the game kicking off at 5pm UK time. </p>
