      And the supersub forward came off the bench in the final and was part of the wild celebrations following Chloe Kelly’s dramatic Wembley winner which secured a first-ever major trophy for the Lionesses.
      After grabbing a goal in the 8-0 mauling of Norway then two as England saw off Northern Ireland 5-0, Russo’s moment of magic came in the semi-final.
      Her iconic backheel through the legs of Sweden goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl was dubbed one of the greatest England goals of all time.
      It has now earned the Queen of Europe royal status – at the tower built for the England monarchs nearly 1,000 years ago and home to the Crown Jewels.

      That is because the boots she was wearing for the tournament are a national treasure, put on display at the historical landmark this week.
      Russo handed her personalised adidas X SPEEDPORTAL over to AJ Clark – just the second-ever female Yeoman Warder – and will be housed in a case in the Martin Tower explaining the journey and history of woman ‘Beefeaters’.
      Manchester United’s Russo said: “Scoring that goal is something I will never forget.
      “So to have this memory preserved in time amongst other national treasures feels so surreal.

      She added on Instagram: “Placing these gems in the Tower of London.
      “The boots that helped win Euro 2022 will now sit amongst our national Crown Jewels.”

      England’s Lionesses’ staggeringly low wages compared to male counterparts revealed including bonuses

      by

      ENGLAND WOMEN may be European champions but they earn a pittance compared to their male counterparts.Not only do WSL players reportedly earn on average £47,000 a year, but the Lionesses’ bonus for winning Euro 2022 was just £55,000 per player.

      The men’s team earned 82 per cent more, with each player collecting £300,000 for reaching the final of Euro 2020 – winning the tournament would have led to a £460,000 payout.
      Players for both the men and women’s team are paid £2000 for each England appearance, with England men donating this fee to charity.
      But that is where the equality ends, with a BBC study finding WSL players earn £47,000 a year on average.
      There are some higher earners amongst the Lionesses, such as captain Leah Williamson who earns a reported £200,000 a year.

Hill slams sexist trolls for slamming her Euro final outfit
      Right-back Luzy Bronze was believed to be on a similar wage at Manchester City before her transfer to Barcelona this summer.
      Williamson could earn more from her off-field partnerships, which includes deals with Nike, Pepsi, and most recently fashion designer Gucci.

      Beth Meade is also thought to have built her £413,000 fortune mainly from sponsorship deals – as she only earns £25,000 a year at Arsenal.
      Lioness boss Sarina Wiegmann is the best paid of all on a reported £400k-a-year salary.

      Wiegmann was paid £200,000 as a bonus for winning the Euros and is set to be rewarded again in the form of a new contract.
      But pay could increase as a result of the tournament’s success, which saw a record attendance for any Euros game at Wembley for the final.
      Attracting sponsors such as Visa, Heineken, Lego and Pepsi helped increase UEFA’s revenue stream by £25-£33m per year, report the BBC.
      And those figures are only going to increase as the women’s game continues to grow in popularity. More
