The upcoming Women's European Championship 2025 brings high hopes for England, as they enter the competition as the reigning champions.
The Lionesses have seen their top scorers shine in the past two editions, with Jodie Taylor securing the title in 2017 with five goals, and Beth Mead sharing the honor with Alexandra Popp three years ago after both players scored six times.
A strong performance in the tournament is crucial, given that the last four leading goal scorers all played six matches.
Leading Spain's attack will be crucial
Spain has showcased impressive attacking prowess, scoring 21 goals in six Nations League games, with Esther Gonzalez playing a key role in their success.
The 32-year-old forward has scored in three of her last four matches for La Roja and has a total of 33 goals for her national team.
A unique presence in the Spain squad for playing her club football in America, Gonzalez has made a significant impact for Gotham FC, contributing to their title win in 2023.
Spain scored a total of 19 goals against Group B rivals Portugal and Belgium in the Nations League Group A3, with Gonzalez finding the net four times.
A sector where Germany has a strong history
Germany has produced the top goal scorer in this tournament in four of the last six editions, making them a formidable force in this area.
Lea Schuller emerges as a top contender for repeating this feat, boasting 52 goals in 75 caps for her national team and an impressive record of 96 goals in 164 appearances for Bayern Munich.
Norway could capitalize on a favorable group
Caroline Graham Hansen has been an integral part of Barcelona's recent success, scoring 48 goals in 71 games for her club over the last two seasons.
With 51 goals for Norway to her name, she is poised to increase that tally in Group A, which is considered the least challenging among the four groups.
