Spain's goalkeeper Cata Coll responds to Hannah Hampton's accusations after a dispute over the 'cheat sheet' bottle during the Euro 2025 penalty shootout.
In the world of women's football, the rivalry between England and Spain is set to continue as both teams prepare for the 2027 World Cup, which will take place in Brazil. This latest incident stems from the European Championship final, where an unexpected event has caused a stir.
Hannah Hampton, the England goalkeeper who was named the player of the match following her outstanding performance, claimed that she threw a 'cheat sheet' bottle belonging to Spain's goalkeeper, Cata Coll, into the crowd during the final. The 'cheat sheet' reportedly contained research on Spain's penalty takers.
According to Hampton, the 'cheat sheet' was left unattended when Coll went into the goal, providing an opportunity for Hampton to dispose of it. However, no response from Coll regarding the incident has been reported so far.
Prior to the final, it was revealed that England's goalkeeping group had studied Spain's penalty record extensively, having watched 46 penalties taken by Alexia Putellas to gain an edge. This strategy seemed to pay off, as Hampton saved efforts from Mariona Caldentey and Aitana Bonmati during the shootout, helping England to successfully defend their European Championship title.
The television broadcast caught an image of the 'cheat sheet' on Hampton's arm during the match, suggesting that she had placed it there to avoid it being easily visible. Despite the controversy, Hampton's actions were not penalised during the game.
Interestingly, Cata Coll was ranked as the no.2 goalkeeper in the world by our website earlier this year, one place above Hampton. This incident has added fuel to the already spicy rivalry between the two teams, ensuring that the path to the 2027 World Cup will be an exciting one.
As for Coll, she has disputed Hampton's claim about the 'cheat sheet' incident on social media, but no further response has been forthcoming. The 'cheat sheet' saga is certainly a talking point in the world of women's football, and it remains to be seen how this will impact the relationship between the two goalkeepers and their teams moving forward.
