Alexia Putellas might not be leading the Golden Boot race, but she is the stats leader in terms of assists at Women’s Euro 2025. The 31-year-old is a leading contender to be named Player of the Tournament as she has three more goal involvements than any other player at the tournament.

Nathalie Bjorn, Sweden. In a rotated defence, Bjorn was excellent against Poland, keeping Ewa Pajor quiet and pushing up to press and win the ball high. Only Sweden have yet to concede a goal at Euro 2025.

Euro 2025 kicked off on July 2, with 16 women's teams having the chance to get their hands on the iconic trophy in the final on July 27. England are the defending champions, while world champions Spain are looking to claim their first Euros title.
