Celtic Eagles tried to respond through their talisman Manu Lopez, whose skill and energy had inspired their march to the final, but the Silvertown backline — led with authority and experience — stood firm. The next goal could be vital and it was Chris Wright once more who pounced to make it 2–0. The momentum was all with JK Silvertown now, and Wright's relentless finishing saw him complete a brilliant hat-trick, putting his side 3–0 up and in full control. It was a masterclass in clinical attacking play.

Any hopes of a Celtic Eagles comeback were further dented when Alan Sanders — another key figure in JK Silvertown's success both today and in Porto — added a fourth goal. At 4–0, the English side looked to be cruising to a famous victory. To their immense credit, however, the Eagles refused to fold. Pawel Golost pulled one back to make it 4–1, and soon after, Manu Lopez added another — his seventh goal of the tournament — to give the Polish team a glimmer of hope. But time was against them, and despite their late surge, the final whistle confirmed a 4–2 victory for JK Silvertown A. It was an amazing win for JK Silvertown – Celtic Eagles had only conceded 4 in 7 matches before and conceded the same in this one game.

Chris Wright's hat-trick in the final capped a phenomenal personal tournament. With 12 goals to his name, he finished as top scorer in Barcelona, adding yet another accolade to his growing legacy. Remarkably, Wright has now been top scorer in three major eurofootballfives.com events — the 2018 Amsterdam Fives (11 goals), the 2023 Barcelona Veterans (12 goals), and now the 2025 Barcelona Veterans (12 goals). A natural finisher and a big-game performer, Wright continues to be instrumental in JK Silvertown's success.

For Celtic Eagles, it was a match too far and, once the initial disappointment subsides, they can reflect with pride their performance. They were magnificent throughout the day, playing stylish, confident football and demonstrating exceptional defensive strength, with goalkeeper Tomasz Sieradzan one of the standouts of the tournament. They overcame every challenge until the final, and even then, showed great fight and spirit to score twice late on. On another day, their story might well have ended with silverware, but their run to the final firmly announced them as a major force in our veterans' events.

As for JK Silvertown A, this victory writes another golden chapter in their remarkable story. Champions of the 2024 Porto Veterans and now winners of the 2025 Barcelona Veterans, they have proven their class, consistency, and quality across two years and two countries. With their trademark blend of attacking flair, defensive discipline, and tournament know-how, they have become one of the most formidable teams in the competition's history. Congratulations to JK Silvertown A — now two-time eurofootballfives.com Veterans Champions and deserved winners in Barcelona.
