Euro 2025: Chloe Kelly and Hannah Hampton bounce back from adversity to play starring roles

Hampton, who played the first major tournament as the British’s first preferred goalkeeper, had large shoes to fill Switzerland.
EARPS – twice called the world’s best female goalkeeper – Britain’s victory in the EURO 2022 and the 2023 World Cup final played an important role.
However, Hampton, who seem to start the euro even before Earps’s retirement, proved that he deserved the number one shirt.
“Did you think Hannah Hampton would be a star at the beginning of the tournament? Maybe not. You wondered how to do it.” He said.
“Look how well he did in the biggest stage. To save these penalties – and these would really save good. He supported himself 100%.
“It is so important for an incredible moment to see him.”
Hampton fell from the squad only months after the EURO victory in 2022.
The reports claimed that it was because of their behavior, and when Wiegman said that Hampton had “solved personal problems”, he had to wait until March 2023.
Hampton, who followed the shooting heroes in the 2025 final with BBC One, said, “The only thing I really can say is thank you to Sarina [Wiegman] For all the belief and belief that he is in.
“He knew what I could do, and he really went to me to go to show what I could do.”
Hampton, who helped Chelsea to win a domestic treble this season, showed exactly what he could do during the tournament.
After losing the opening matches against France, Hampton helped the UK back to the Netherlands, which started to attack for the first goal of England and adjusted the tempo for 4-0 performance.
Later, in the quarterfinals against Sweden, he made two brilliant savings in the shooting to help keep the British defense alive.
“The girls ran for 120 minutes, so the least thing I can do is to save a few pens there and help the team as much as I can.”
BBC added to One: “There is still more than me. It’s not too bad to win for my first big tournament.”
