but excluded a major star from their attached image.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Crown posted on X to praise the Lionesses for their &#8216;remarkable&#8217; journey, laud their &#8216;inspiring&#8217; presence, and wish them the best.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Alongside that, they shared a graphic of all the Lionesses smiling and celebrating to build the feel-good factor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But one comment from an eagle-eyed supporter, a mere three words, exposed what appeared to be an almighty oversight: &#8216;<a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" target=\"_self\" class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-14934277\/Michelle-Agyemang-allowed-havoc-start-England-Euros-final.html\" rel=\"noopener\">Where is Agyemang?<\/a>&#8216;<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-ff218fe75476e31e\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/100633787-14940709-Lionesses_fans_are_fuming_that_Michelle_Agyemang_has_been_left_o-a-38_17534529813.jpeg\" height=\"794\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Lionesses fans have complained that Michelle Agyemang has been left out of the Royal Family's good luck message for the Euros final\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Lionesses fans have complained that Michelle Agyemang has been left out of the Royal Family&#8217;s good luck message for the Euros final<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-81236173908152f8\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/100633753-14940709-image-a-19_1753452422113.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Agyemang has scored two critical goals to help England on their way to the final in Switzerland\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Agyemang has scored two critical goals to help England on their way to the final in Switzerland<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-488aef30e9415d98\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/100634211-14940709-image-a-28_1753452802818.jpg\" height=\"414\" width=\"634\" alt=\"\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>  <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">There has been lots of clamour for the 19-year-old to start in the final against Spain\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Michelle Agyemang, who has bailed England out twice with her goals in this tournament, was nowhere to be seen in the graphic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">If the Lionesses retain their Euros title on Sunday, they will be extremely grateful to the 19-year-old student for her contributions in Switzerland.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Not only did she score an 81st minute equaliser in the quarter-finals against Sweden to help the game go to extra-time and penalties, but she netted a 96th-minute equaliser against Italy in the semis to earn another added period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Chloe Kelly then finished the business in the 119th minute to complete the comeback and send the Lionesses to their second consecutive final.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Agyemang&#8217;s omission may be explained partially by the fact that she is surprise star in this mission. She only made her debut in April &#8211; scoring 41 seconds after coming on against Belgium &#8211; to stake her claim to a place on the plane, and she only has four caps so far.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Moreover, Agyemang is not the only omission. For example, deputy goalkeepers Khiara Keating and Anna Moorhouse are not featured &#8211; but they have not played this tournament.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">That didn&#8217;t stop the comments from fans on X. One wrote: &#8216;I don&#8217;t see Michelle anywhere&#8217; with a sad face emoji.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Your Royal Family media manager doesn&#8217;t know theres a player called Michelle Agyemang that grabbed your equalizer in the last 2 games?
