Esther González Brings Spain to Life with Stunning Euro Performance
What a night we’ve just witnessed in the Women’s Euro 2025, and if there’s one name we’ll all be talking about—it's Esther González. The Spanish striker made a sensational return to the spotlight, scoring twice in the first half against Portugal and reminding everyone exactly why she was once one of the most feared forwards in European football. This wasn't just a win; it was a statement.
From the very first minute, Spain looked like a team on a mission. Esther wasted no time—literally. In the first minute of play, she controlled a lofted ball from Olga with her shoulder, and almost in the same motion, executed a backheel volley that curled into the net. It wasn’t just a goal; it was a masterclass in instinct and technique. The kind of goal you replay ten times just to make sure you saw it right.
And she wasn’t done.

By the 42nd minute, Esther struck again. After a chaotic play that saw a swirling cross from Pina hit the post, the ball found its way to Esther, surrounded by defenders but completely unfazed. She slotted it home with the calm of a veteran and the hunger of someone who had waited nearly a year to wear her national jersey again.
Let’s not forget—this is the same Esther who went 11 months without a call-up. Some had started to wonder if her time with La Roja had come to an end. But last night, under the lights in Berna, she answered every doubt with one performance. Estherminator is back.
And she wasn’t alone. Alexia Putellas added another stunning goal with a perfectly timed run and cool finish, while young star Vicky López was electric, not only scoring but also orchestrating much of Spain’s movement in midfield. The entire team, under Montse Tomé, played with intensity, fluidity, and purpose. Portugal simply couldn’t keep up.
But back to Esther—because this game felt like her personal redemption arc. From being left out, to silencing critics with style. You could see it in her movement, her confidence, her fire. This wasn’t just about scoring—it was about leading. About making it clear that she’s still got so much to offer this Spanish side.
So, if you blinked, you probably missed something. Because Spain came out flying, and Esther González was right at the heart of it all.
If this is just the beginning, then buckle up. Because Spain looks ready. And Esther? She looks unstoppable.
