00:00Lucy, can you do it? And I was like, I can do anything.

00:02I've not watched the final back, to be honest.

00:05Dramatic, throwing it back.

00:06How you doing? I've been chatting to you before the last Euro 2020

00:10in George's Park, and I said, what would you do if you go as well?

00:14And you were like, we'll go to Ibiza. Did that happen first time round?

00:16That did not happen first time round.

00:18A few of us went this time, but I'd say more like dribs and drabs

00:23rather than a collective. There's too many of us.

00:25We need everyone there.

00:26Yeah, we need to get like someone, 23 of us to fit in one place.

00:30It's quite a lot.

00:31Just have a playing, babe. Come on now.

00:32Yeah, we can do that.

00:33So you played the whole entire tournament with a fractured tibia.

00:36Yeah.

00:37How did you cope? Was it a lot of ibuprofen?

00:41A little bit stronger than that, yeah.

00:42Something like that.

00:43So were you scared? What actually happened?

00:47No, I wasn't scared. It was painful.

00:50We spoke about it before the tournament with the doctor and the staff

00:54and everything was super safe.

00:56It was just like, Lucy, can you do it?

00:58And I was like, I can do anything.

01:00So, yeah.

01:00Oh, I love that. Have you watched it back and seen your...

01:02How does it work?

01:03Do you watch all your performances back as a team and the bus with the analysts?

01:07Yeah, we analyse everything after each game.

01:09I think on the bus sometimes we like to watch the funny memes,

01:11the funny iconic moments that happen in games.

01:15We share them on the bus.

01:16But I don't think I've ever sat down and watched...

01:19I've not watched the final back, to be honest.

01:20So you didn't see yourself limping at any point or anything?

01:23Yeah. I think my family have probably showed me a few videos of me hopping around and limping.

01:29So you actually watched the memes back on the bus. I love that.

01:31Have you got a favourite one that you just always send to the group to wind anyone up?

01:35I think my favourite... I think the one that I've kind of been known for,

01:39that someone else had shown me, was when I taped my own leg.

01:43And I threw the tape, I took it off and I threw it back.

01:46But everyone was like, you were so, like, dramatic in throwing it back.

01:50But in my head, I wasn't like that.

01:52You're a champion. You're allowed to be dramatic.

01:53And just finally, what is next? What else do you want to achieve?

01:57Winning more trophies.

01:59Win the World Cup, win more trophies.

02:01That's the thing that drives me the most.

02:05I think it's what inspires people when they see us winning in different ways.

02:09So I just want to win.

02:10And you've done so much for women's sport.

02:12So thank you. As a woman that loves sport,

02:14we can't thank you enough for putting us on the map.

02:16Thank you so much.

02:16Have a good night.

02:17Thank you. You too.
