Montse Tomé Breaks Down Spain’s Win: Early Goal, Vicky’s Growth & Aitana’s Return | UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 🔥🇪🇸
Following Spain’s opening win over Portugal in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, head coach Montse Tomé analyzed her team’s performance, starting with the emotional tone surrounding the match and ending with individual player highlights.
Tomé praised the team’s composure and control after an early goal set the rhythm. She emphasized how critical it was to start strong in a tournament setting, especially given Portugal’s defensive setup. Spain’s ability to build fluid combinations and dominate possession was, in her words, exactly the game plan they wanted.
One of the most notable storylines was 18-year-old Vicky López. Tomé highlighted her calmness, discipline, and maturity on such a big stage, pointing out that they’ve been preparing her step by step and that she’s responding well to the increased responsibility.
Aitana Bonmatí’s return was another major positive. Cleared by the medical staff just in time, she came on and immediately showed her desire for more minutes. Tomé made it clear that her mentality and commitment are a huge asset for the squad.
The decision to start Adriana in goal was explained as a last-minute adjustment due to Cata Coll’s treatment not progressing as expected. Tomé praised Adri’s composed 90-minute display and her contribution to the team’s defensive organization.
Spain’s clean sheet was seen as a reflection of recent tactical work on team shape and structure. The message from the coach was clear: this is a Spain team focused on growing throughout the tournament, with both veterans and young stars stepping up.
