- Wiegman said she was very hyper and still very emotional, with a lot of adrenaline in her body. Asked if it was the most chaotic game she has been part of, she said absolutely.
- Asked how she reacted to the first 75 minutes, Wiegman said England were a goal down within two or three minutes and struggled to break Sweden down. Subs with other attributes changed the picture.
- Asked about the subs, resilience and luck, Wiegman said Sweden had to adapt to what England changed, and before they could, it was 2-2. She thought England were out about three times.
- Asked about Leah Williamson coming off, Wiegman said she rolled her ankle and will be assessed tomorrow. Lauren James and Alex Greenwood are okay, just really tired, as she thinks everyone was.
“I think the only way to get her off the pitch is in a wheelchair.”
- Asked about Hannah Hampton, Wiegman said the save at 2-0 was absolutely crucial, as otherwise she thinks the game would have been done. A save in the shootout also kept England in it.
- Asked if she is concerned by how many players missed penalties, Wiegman said of course, as she knows they are capable. She thinks it was the fatigue, the whole picture, and it was just really hard.
- Asked about Chloe Kelly's contribution off the bench, Wiegman said England needed crosses to the far post, and Kelly can give very good ones with either foot. She was prepared and ready.
Sarina Wiegman called it one of the craziest matches of her career — England’s dramatic Euro 2025 quarter-final win over Sweden had everything: an early collapse, heroic comebacks, and a nerve-shredding penalty shootout.
The Lionesses conceded two quick goals and struggled to settle, but key substitutions — including Michelle, Chloe, Beth, and Esme — completely changed the momentum. Wiegman praised the team’s resilience, Lucy Bronze’s leadership, and Hannah Hampton’s game-saving performance.
With Leah Williamson facing injury concerns and Lauren James visibly fatigued, England now look ahead to a semi-final showdown with Italy. Wiegman says preparation will be key, but keeping the players mentally fresh matters even more.
