Managers’ reaction
England Women manager Sarina Wiegman told BBC: “We won the cup. It is just unbelievable. I don’t even remember what you’ve asked me! I don’t know what’s going on!
“Do you have half an hour? If you really want to become better every single day, that is what you need to do.
“The players have wanted to do it together and we agreed on a couple of things about behaviour, and it wasn’t just words.”
Germany head coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg: “Let’s differentiate between football and feelings. Let’s start with the footballing things, first half ball possession was more on the English side. They put pressure on us. They got a few free-kicks, we lacked courage sometimes.
“We wanted to play courageously to get the first goal and play with a high press. In extra-time the 2-1 was just a bit unlucky. Maybe the penalty should have decided it.
“England are deserved champions. They win hard like that and look at the support they have got. If you score two goals against Germany you are deserved champions. Congratulations to them.”
