She told The Times: “(It was) the saddest moment of my life – she was my best friend. In the Euros you park it. And afterwards, then you get hit a little bit.
“She had told me to seize this prize, and I had just done so. I was still calm, not emotional. The only thing I felt was a deep connection with my sister.
“She said ‘I’ll sit by the post or on the crossbar. I will help a little bit.’ So she was there all the time. It’s still very fresh. The missing part is just a big gap now.”
Diana was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the summer of 2021 and died three weeks before the start of Euro 2022.
“We celebrated life every day,” said Wiegman. “It was so quick, but it was very special too. We had moments to treasure together.”

For a player boasting 28 trophies in European football, including league titles in France and Italy, as well as Champions League success with Chelsea, it s somewhat surprising Thiago Silva s big breakthrough on the continent did not arrive until he was 25.
After failing to make the grade at Porto, and contemplating walking away from the game entirely during a spell on loan with Dynamo Moscow, a successful return to Brazil with Fluminense ultimately led to a move to Milan and the rest, as they say, is history.
San Siro proved more than just a springboard into a trophy-laden spell in European football for Silva, and it is the ground where he is expected to make his 100th Champions League appearance on Tuesday with Chelsea, the eighth – and possibly final – club of his …

That provided the breakthrough in the closing seconds, the German defender heading past Anatoliy Trubin to deny what would have been a famous victory.
A passive first half saw limited opportunities, Karim Ben…
France s appeal against the decision to disallow Antoine Griezmann s goal in last week s shock 1-0 World Cup loss to Tunisia has been dismissed by FIFA.
Griezmann thought he had cancelled out Wahbi Khazri s strike when he volleyed home in the eighth minute of stoppage time at Education City Stadium.
However, after the celebrations had died down and the whistle had sounded for full-time, referee Michael Conger ruled out Griezmann s goal for an offside infringement.
The Atletico Madrid forward was adjudged to have been offside when firing in from Aurelien Tchouameni s pass, which was helped into his path by a Tunisia defender.
But the French Football Federation (FFF) felt the officials were wrong to disallow the goal as play had briefly restarted when VAR i…
Jonas Eidevall says Arsenal are going to take a full throttle approach as they look to begin the Champions League on a high against Bayern Munich.
Arsenal survived a scare to qualify for the group stage of the competition, coming from behind after a first-leg loss to Hacken to win 4-1 on aggregate.
