Despite the heartbreak of missing out on a historic title, Guijarro was resolute in her post-match comments, emphasizing the team’s unwavering effort and the inspiration they have provided.

“I’m not going to apologize either. We’re calm because we gave it our all,” said the Barcelona midfielder.


“You have to give it value, because it’s not easy at all. I wish we had won today and were jumping for joy, but it’s very tough.”



Spain had taken the lead in the first half of the match at Wembley through Mariona Caldentey, but England clawed back and eventually triumphed in a penalty shootout after extra time ended in a 1–1 draw.

Guijarro acknowledged the emotional toll of the defeat but chose to highlight the team’s impact beyond the scoreboard.
