Keira Walsh expresses her hope that the Euro 2025 final between England and Spain will be free from controversy, emphasizing respect between the teams. Reflecting on the overshadowing incident involving Luis Rubiales during the 2023 World Cup, she underscores the importance of focusing on the game and players' achievements.
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.
