Both these sides progressed to the last four thanks to dramatic winners. England needed a Georgia Stanway screamer in added time to see off an impressive Spanish side.

This should come as no surprise. Sweden has the highest ranking of all teams in Euro 2022. In fact, only the mighty USA is above them in the world rankings, according to FIFA.
