Agyemang Crowned Young Player of the Tournament
Michelle Agyemang, the 19-year-old striker for Arsenal and England, has been named the Best Young Player of Euro 2025. Her recognition comes despite playing only a total of 138 minutes throughout the tournament and not starting a single match.

Vital Role in England’s Title Defense

Late Goals Define Her Tournament
Agyemang scored vital late equalisers in two knockout matches, rescuing England from elimination. Her goal against Sweden in the quarter-final pushed the match into extra time, while another late strike against Italy in the semi-final kept England’s hopes alive.

Contribution Beyond the Starting XI
Though she didn’t start any of the matches, Agyemang consistently delivered when it mattered most. Her ability to shift the momentum of games from the bench demonstrated maturity, composure, and instinct beyond her years.

England Wins Final in Penalty Shootout
The final in Basel ended in a nail-biting penalty shootout, with England edging out Spain to retain their European title. Agyemang’s presence, even without starting, was credited by teammates and coach Sarina Wiegman as influential in shaping the team’s spirit.

Recognition from UEFA and Fans
UEFA’s technical observers highlighted Agyemang’s sharp decision-making, goal-scoring ability, and emotional impact on the squad. Fans praised her on social media, calling her “the future of English football” and a “super sub with championship nerves.”

Spain’s Bonmati Named Best Player Overall
While Agyemang took the young player honor, the tournament’s Best Player award went to Spain’s Aitana Bonmati. The reigning Ballon d’Or winner overcame early health issues to become a driving force behind Spain’s run to the final.
