Keira Walsh Advocates for Controversy-Free Euro 2025 Final

England and former Barcelona midfielder Keira Walsh has voiced her hopes for a controversy-free Euro 2025 final. She wishes for Spain to enjoy their match against defending champions England in Basel this Sunday.

Walsh referred to the overshadowing incident in the 2023 World Cup final when then Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales controversially kissed striker Jenni Hermoso. Highlighting the respect between the teams, Walsh urges focus on the football itself rather than off-field distractions.

Reflecting on the aftermath of Spain's World Cup win, Walsh expressed disappointment that the team's stellar performance did not receive the attention it deserved. The incident spurred conversations on sexism in Spain, contributing to the 'Me Too' movement's momentum in the country.
