I just wanted to say a huge congratulations to you and the whole team.”The video-call lasted about five minutes and Wiegman could be heard saying “hello Keir, nice to see you”, adding “it’s lovely here”.She then thanked him for calling and for supporting the team throughout the tournament.But trolls were quick to hit out against Sir Keir’s phone call with some branding it “awkward” for the heroic Lionesses.Another said on X, formerly Twitter: “Why does Keir have that uncanny valley AI feel in this video? “It just gives off such weird vibes man.” Meanwhile, a third laughed: “They couldn’t wait to get you off the phone.”“All feels so fake,” said another of Starmer’s attempt at conversation during the phone call.The PM’s post was captioned: “Back-to-back tournament wins. Inspiring the next generation. History makers. “On behalf of the entire nation — congratulations Lionesses.”Sarina Wiegman’s troops secured a sensational second straight Women’s European Championship title last Sunday with a penalty shootout victory over Spain in Basel.England bested the Spaniards 3-1 in the shootout following a 1-1 draw after extra time on Sunday.Chloe Kelly slammed home the winning penalty to send the nation into a state of pandemonium.Donald Trump welcomes Sir Keir Starmer and his wife Victoria to his Scottish golf courseRichard PohleMeanwhile the Euro winners enjoyed drinks in the sunshine[/caption]PAEngland hero Chloe Kelly laughs as the team celebrate at the reception[/caption]Kelly and her team-mates partied into small hours of the morning after their historic achievement.And they were greeted by a chorus of cheers as they touched down in Old Blighty on Monday afternoon.Scores of footie fans waited for their heroines outside the terminal after getting wind of their arrival and erupted in cheers at Southend Airport in Essex.Tuesday will see the team enjoy an open-top bus procession along The Mall and a ceremony in front of Buckingham Palace.However, the Government won’t commemorate the Lionesses’ latest trophy haul with a Bank Holiday.CHAMPIONS AGAINThe Lionesses had a bumpy ride in Switzerland, but always managed to come up with the goods in the big moments.Sarina Wiegman‘s side produced several Houdini acts before triumphing on penalties against world champions Spain in the final.England got off to a poor start as Beth Mead missed the first pen of the shootoutBut Hampton saved twice – including one from Caldentey and another from superstar Aitana Bonmati before Salma Paralluelo shanked her effort wide.Kelly, 27, kept her cool to slot home the decisive penalty as England retained their title as European champions via a shootout on a historic night in Basel.The former Man City forward was the definition of a supersub, coming on for an injured Lauren James at the end of the first half and going on to set up Alessia Russo‘s equalising goal and netting the deciding spot kick.
