The rise of Barcelona's Alexia Putellas

Five players to look out for

Alexia Putellas is a Ballon d'Or winner. The best female player in the game. Uefa player of the year Putellas is the heartbeat of the Spanish team.

The inaugural Ballon d'Or winner returned to the international scene in April and is looking to make her mark at Euro 2022.

After helping the Netherlands win the Euro 2017, the Dutch forward wants to add another European title to her resume.

Pernille Harder is the all-time leading scorer and captain of the Danes.

The Manchester City winger, who was named the Women's Super League's young player of the year for a record-breaking fourth season in a row, has been on-fire for club and country.

  • Why Putellas is best in the world

Will England deliver?

There is a lot of pressure on the Lionesses to win the European crown.

They finished runner-up to Sweden in the inaugural Women's Euros in 1984 before losing to Germany in the final in 2009.

In February, England won the inaugural Arnold Clark Cup, a competition featuring Olympic champion Canada, Spain and two-time world champion Germany.

The Lionesses will be led by a female.

The event is going to be the biggest of its kind in Europe.

It is going to be exciting but it can cause some stress. We have to accept the expectations.

It's a chance to make people proud.

Will Northern Ireland shine?

The future of women's football in Northern Ireland is very bright. In 2004, the national team reformed after being dismantled at the turn of the century.

Northern Ireland have already made it to one of the biggest stages in the sport as a team made up of part time players.

The domestic-based players entered a full-time professional programme.

The team is the lowest ranked in the competition.

In April, he said that women are more emotional than men when discussing his side's loss to England.
