England's football sensation Chloe Kelly has made a surprising confession: she's never watched back her iconic World Cup-winning goal. The Lionesses star, who became a national hero after her decisive strike, revealed the unexpected reason behind her avoidance.
The Moment That Made History
Kelly's extra-time goal against Germany in the 2023 Women's World Cup final secured England's first-ever World Cup trophy, sending the nation into raptures. The image of her tearing off her shirt in celebration became one of the most memorable moments in English football history.
Why She's Never Revisited The Moment
"I haven't actually watched it back," Kelly admitted. "I don't know why - I think I'm just living in the moment still. It's something I'll probably watch when I'm older and can appreciate it more."
The Manchester City forward explained that she prefers to keep the memory fresh in her mind rather than analysing the technical details of her performance. "It was such an emotional moment," she added. "I want to remember how it felt rather than how it looked."
Life After World Cup Glory
Since her historic goal, Kelly has become one of the most recognisable faces in women's football. However, she remains focused on continuing to improve her game rather than dwelling on past achievements.
The 26-year-old credits her teammates for creating the opportunity that led to her famous goal: "It was a team effort - without everyone's hard work, that moment wouldn't have happened."
What's Next for England's Hero?
With the next Women's World Cup on the horizon, Kelly is already setting her sights on new challenges. "We've shown what England can do," she said. "Now we want to keep making history."
