Fair play? Hampton revealed her mischief in Euro final. Cata Coll denies it
England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton has revealed a cheeky behind-the-scenes moment from the Euro 2025 final — tossing Spain keeper Cata Coll’s water bottle, complete with penalty-taker notes, into the crowd before the shootout. A little gamesmanship, a big trophy lift.
- England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton revealed that during the Euro 2025 final shootout, she slyly grabbed Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll’s water bottle—complete with notes on England’s penalty takers—and tossed it into the crowd to disrupt Coll’s preparations.
- After the bottle swap, Coll reportedly looked for her original bottle in vain, while Hampton drew her attention with the identical but empty bottle—a moment she admitted she found hilarious but had to resist laughing at.
- Cata Coll later took to X (formerly Twitter) to humorously deny the incident, posting: “Okay okay, calm down. If only it were true…”
- Beyond the on-field trickery, Hampton delivered heroics in goal—saving two penalties in the shootout as England beat Spain 3–1—and was named Player of the Match in the final.
