England’s Michelle Agyemang shines as Euro 2025’s Young Player of the Tournament
England’s Michelle Agyemang has been named Euro 2025’s Young Player of the Tournament, proving that even limited minutes on the field can make a huge impact. At just 19 years old, the Arsenal forward only played 138 minutes in total, but what she lacked in time, she made up for in impressive performances.
Some of Agyemang’s power plays are her two late equalisers. The first was during their quarter-finals match against Sweden, and the second was when they faced Italy in the semi-finals.
Lastly, she played an essential role in winning the trophy during their match with Spain, where England defeated them in a penalty shootout. While Agyemang’s minutes were few, her contributions were unforgettable.
The UEFA Technical Observer Group are the one to decide which award will be given to whom. In an interview, they said that ‘Michelle made a great contribution to help England reach the final,’ which backs their decision to give her the title. ‘She came on and both times got the goals that England needed to get through,’ they added.
Spain also had standout stars like Aitana Bonmati, the Player of the Tournament, and Esther Gonzalez, who finished as the top scorer with four goals in the tournament.
