England's Lionesses win EURO 2022

England are the EURO 2022 winners. England's women's team beat Germany 2-1. The final was at London's famous Wembley stadium.

In 1966, England's men's team beat Germany in the World Cup final at Wembley. This win comes exactly 56 years later.

87,000 people watched in the stadium. At full time, the score was 1-1. Then, the teams played extra time. Chloe Kelly scored England's second goal.

England fans were very happy.

Ehis Idiake: "Amazing. The women were awesome, like great football. Great end to end entertainment. And we won so yes! Come on England!"

Pauline Braham: "To just, you know, be in this stadium, and see it full. And to see the journey that has taken place for women's football - and the respect that I think now they need to put on it, on its name."

England fans always sing "Football's coming home". But for 56 years, England didn't win. Now, England's women brought football 'home'.

Some parents like the example it gives their daughters. Charlie Bunting took 5 year old Harriet to watch.

Charlie Bunting: "Yeah, I said to Harriet in the ground, she's got to, she's got to do all she can to try and remember this. Coz, I said the last time England won a tournament was when Nanny was born, which was a long time ago. So yeah, she's got to remember this for as long as you can. Because it's very, very special."

Some people were unhappy. In the first half, Germany wanted a penalty. The referee didn't give this. Maybe her decision was important for the result.

Germany's fans were disappointed.

Jonna Brengel: "Bit disappointing about the result in the end. But I think we can be proud of the team and the performance from the all tournament. And yeah, I think that it's a right step in the direction and all people in Germany can be proud."

Caroline Schoeyo: "I mean, obviously I'm a bit disappointed. [Come on England] Yeah, obviously, I'm a bit disappointed, but it is what it is."
