Spain’s lethal striker Esther González is now the standout top scorer at the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, heading into Sunday’s highly anticipated final against England. The Gotham FC forward has netted four goals, putting her ahead of some of Europe’s finest talents in what has been a dazzling tournament hosted in Switzerland.
González’s sharp instincts in front of goal have been crucial for Spain’s unbeaten campaign, including their hard-fought 1-0 semi-final win over Germany on July 23. Her composure, timing, and versatility in attack have cemented her as one of the most feared forwards in women’s football today.
Spain’s success underlines a remarkable resurgence in their women’s program, with players like Alexia Putellas and Athenea also contributing to the goal tally. Putellas, a former Ballon d’Or winner, has scored three goals, while Athenea has chipped in with two, showcasing Spain’s attacking depth.
England, who edged past Italy 2-1 in the semi-finals on July 22, will count on stars like Michelle Agyemang, Georgia Stanway, and Ella Toone, all of whom have registered two goals each, to challenge Spain’s dominance. The Lionesses are eager to reclaim continental glory after their 2022 success and will look to match Spain’s intensity in the final.
Sweden’s Stina Blackstenius, Italy’s Cristiana Girelli, and Spain’s Putellas trail closely behind González with three goals each, adding to the tournament’s thrilling golden boot race. Meanwhile, 18 other players from across France, Norway, Germany, and the Netherlands have scored twice, proving the competition’s fierce balance.
The UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 final kicks off Sunday evening at the Stade de Genève, promising fireworks between two of the most tactically disciplined and star-studded sides in modern women’s football. With González chasing history and England determined to spoil Spain’s party, all eyes will be on Switzerland.
This edition of the tournament has witnessed record-breaking viewership, packed stadiums, and a surge in youth engagement across Europe, further solidifying the Women’s Euro as one of the most influential platforms in global football today.
