BASEL, AUG 8 – Hannah Hampton disrupted Spain's penalty plans by discarding their goalkeeper's tactical notes, aiding England's 3-1 shootout win to retain the European Women's Championship.
- Chelsea goalkeeper Hannah Hampton revealed she threw Spain keeper Cata Coll’s water bottle, which had England’s penalty instructions, into the crowd after the European final in Basel last month.
- Hampton took this tactic because Coll’s bottle contained sensitive information about England’s penalty takers, while Hampton kept her notes taped to her arm to avoid exposure.
- Hampton made crucial saves during the final shootout, helping England win 3-1 after a 1-1 draw with Spain over 120 minutes and retain the Women’s European Championship.
- The 24-year-old described the moment she threw the bottle as funny, saying she tried hard not to laugh at Coll’s confused reaction and stressed the team had practiced penalties extensively.
- Hampton’s quick thinking and preparation contributed to England’s back-to-back European titles and her recent Ballon d’Or nomination alongside her teammates.
