Even the country’s star player, sidelined due to injury, watched as her teammates struggled to find unity.
Although a fragile truce was eventually brokered and some of the protesting players returned, tensions remained high within the team.

While the game’s outcome hinged on a single goal, Spain’s dominance was evident in their every pass, touch, and decision on the field. All of their tactical strategy combined with Bonmati’s extraordinary influence propelled them forward, ultimately leading to their historic victory.
The road to success was not without its obstacles, as Spain’s goalkeeper, Cata Coll, reflected on the tense moments during the game’s final minutes. However, the team’s unity, confidence in their talent, and resilience carried them through.
It was seen on the field when the final whistle blew and the realization of their accomplishment sank in, the players gathered in a circle, their arms draped over each other’s shoulders, embodying the unity that had finally settled among them.
