The Arsenal winger has carried the game&#8217;s decisive penalty and secured the second European Championship for the Lioners.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">Though emotions have risen as the UK celebrated the successful defense of the European crown, Kelly&#8217;s actions have not been well received by international media. He claims that her celebration in front of Spanish goalkeeper Kata Kor is &#8220;unnecessary.&#8221; As reported by Spanish publication Dario AS, Kelly changed her course after scoring from a penalty spot and gestured towards the keeper. They write: &#8220;My friend, my friend: Kelly&#8217;s cocky gesture to Kata Kol after winning a decisive penalty. The English expert changed her run during the celebration of her penalty to pass the goalkeeper she beat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>It follows Kelly heading straight towards the England fans on the corner. This is an action labelled as something not &#8220;sakky.&#8221; A replacement for the Euro 2025 Finals, Kelly gave her a sense of presence throughout the tournament, even from the bench.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">Before winning the penalty, she supported Areciarsso&#8217;s 57-minute equalizer. Kelly wasted penalties during his semi-final victory over Italy, converted rebounds, leaving history determined not to repeat.<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8220;I didn&#8217;t miss two on the bounce. I&#8217;m cool, I was composed. I knew I would hit the back of the net. I&#8217;d never miss a penalty twice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The 27-year-old feared that her English ambitions would slip as she fought for form and time during the spell in Manchester City. Kelly eventually secured a loan move to Arsenal in January and made the move permanent in July, allowing her to rediscover her best form and achieve an important career landmark.<\/p>\n<p>She added:<\/p>\n<p>Kelly also praised the influence of manager Salena Wigman, saying, &#8220;She gave me hope when I probably didn&#8217;t have. She gave me the opportunity to represent my country again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In her pointy message to her critics, the Arsenal star was also posted on social media: &#8220;Thank you to everyone who wrote me down &#8211; I am grateful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2087687\/Chloe-Kelly-Euro-2025-Spain\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chloe Kelly was branded as &#8220;sakky&#8221; by the Spanish press following her celebration in the Euro 2025 final.
