Sunday night saw the Lionesses’ retain the Euro cup after the final went to penalties, which they won 3-1.
The opening of tonight’s Emmerdale episode will see Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) chatting with Mary Goskirk (Louise Jameson) about last night’s incredible football match.
Viewers will also get a glimpse of the aftermath of a lively celebration at the Woolpack pub, with the disarray clearly indicating the villagers had gathered en masse to watch the Lionesses make history.
This scene was a last-minute addition, filmed with the hopeful anticipation of an England win, allowing Emmerdale to capture and reflect the national excitement surrounding the Lionesses’ triumph.
Producer Laura Shaw said: “With the nation getting behind the Lionesses, we knew the fictional characters in Emmerdale would’ve been doing just the same, so it felt right and proper that we should reflect this result on the show.”
England put their fans through the mill during the final, with Spain scoring first before Alessia Russo equalised in the 57th minute.
With neither team able to break the deadlock after 90 minutes, they went to extra time, where the scoreline remained unchanged.
It meant the dreaded penalties would decide who would triumph and thankfully, England came out on top.
That was down to two incredible saves from hero goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, and Chloe Kelly putting the ball in the back of the net to secure the victory, after Spain also sent one shot wide of the net.
Meanwhile, Lionesses stalwart Lucy Bronze, 33, incredibly fought through a serious injury to play a key role as Sarina Wiegman’s side retained their Euros crown.

Bronze played 105 minutes of England’s final victory over Spain, before finally being forced off at half-time of extra time with a knee issue.
Following the Lionesses’ 3-1 penalty shoot-out victory, the Chelsea full-back told the BBC: “I have actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia, and then I have hurt my knee on my other leg.
“That’s why I got a lot of praise from the girls after the Sweden game, as I’ve been in a lot of pain.
“If that’s what it takes to play for England, that’s what I’ll do. Very painful.”
