Spain goalkeeper Coll denies Hampton's claim of throwing away shootout notes

England's first-choice goalkeeper, Hannah Hampton, moved on British radio station 'talkSPORT' to talk over her team's recent success at the Women's Euros.

And she told a curious true story that allegedly took place in the penalty shoot-out in the final against Spain.

Sarina Wiegman's side didn't dominate during the final against Spain, but they managed to take the game to penalties.

Mariona Caldentey put the reigning world champions ahead before Alessia Russo equalised from a fantastic pass by Chloe Kelly in the second half, before the match led to spot kicks.

All eyes were now on the two goalkeepers, both of whom were ready to take centre stage.

Both Hampton and Cata Coll excelled with several saves, with the former finding herself on the winning side.

The Barca goalkeeper, in fact, made two spectacular saves to no avail.

According to her counterpart, however, she was at a disadvantage because she didn't have the notes on where the England players would place their shots.

"I threw her bottle at the English fans so she couldn't have it.

She was confused, and I was trying not to laugh," Hampton told talkSPORT.

After the clip started to obtain some traction on social media, Coll offered her own version of events with an emphatic message that started with two laughing 'emojis': "Okay, okay; calm down, calm down.

At least if it were true.

Whatever the reality, both women made multiple impressive saves in the shootout, with Hampton and the Lionesses eventually coming out on top.
