One of the defining images of this tournament was not Ilestedt blocking a shot or making a sliding tackle, but her celebrating 90 yards up the pitch.

Abelleira was one of the direct beneficiaries of Spain’s mass withdrawals, but she has established herself as a world-class central midfielder who can protect the defence but also step forward to play through-balls.
