Wiegman was in the middle of his press conference when his team burst into the room, singing “It’s Coming Home” and dancing around the top table.

Goalkeeper Mary Earps even climbed on top of the table to keep dancing as the celebrations looked set to continue late into the evening.

Just when it looked like England might once again be weighed down by expectations and history, Chloe Kelly made the breakthrough.

Kelly’s goal in the second half of extra time – the first goal she had ever scored in a competitive international match – propelled England to their first major women’s football title. Ella Toone scored England’s first goal with a clever lob, but Lina Magull’s equalizer 11 minutes from regulation time brought Germany level.

It ended a 56-year wait for a major trophy for any England team, men’s or women’s.

Wiegman has now won back-to-back European Women’s Championships after guiding her home country of the Netherlands to the title in 2017.

“I have no secrets,” said Wiegman, whose side have won all six games at Euro 2022, scoring 22 goals and conceding two.

“I don’t think I realize what’s going on – I need time.

“Now that we have won the Euros, expectations will increase even more. First we will celebrate.

Wiegman also hopes England’s victory will inspire a new generation of players.

“During our preparation for the Euros, we brought in players who played in 1971,” she added.

“We must always remember those who came before us because they paved the way for us. This team is paving the way for the next generation.
