Incredibly wholesome
The young England supporter – Tess – who went viral after the Lionesses’ semi-final win over Sweden has been gifted a match worn Alessia Russo shirt.
She was appearing as a guest on the BBC‘s coverage of the Euro 2022 final and previewed with Englan’s match against Germany with presenter Gabby Logan and pundits Ian Wright, Alex Scott and Arsenal Women manager Jonas Eidevall.
Tess received a personal message from Russo, thanking her for her support all summer. The Manchester United star then revealed that she was giving her a match worn shirt from the Sweden win – the one she wore while scoring *that* incredible back-heel goal.
Her reaction was incredibly wholesome, and the joy on her face was truly special.
This is what it's all about! ❤️

Sarina Wiegman’s side have a chance to win their first major tournament at Wembley Stadium when they face off against Germany tonight, with kick off at 5pm.
As many expected, the England boss named an unchanged side for the final. No team has never named the same XI in six Euro matches.
