A brilliant Spain team featuring teenage sensation Lamine Yamal stands between England and a first major men’s international trophy in almost 60 years in Sunday’s Euro 2024 final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
But a team led by Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane contains enough match-winners to believe it can go toe to toe with Spain and end England’s wait for glory which goes back to the 1966 World Cup. Since beating Serbia 1-0 in their first game, Gareth Southgate’s side have been ahead in normal time for a combined total of about 20 minutes across five matches.
“We’ve come here to win. We play the team who’ve been the best team in the tournament and we have a day less to prepare so it’s a huge task,“ admitted Southgate, whose future beyond Sunday’s final is currently uncertain.Spain’s form means they are the favourites going into the first meeting of the nations at either a World Cup or Euros since 1996.
They didn’t win another knockout game at a tournament until a run to the semi-finals of Euro 2020, but that was followed by a last-16 exit at the last World Cup.Spain won the UEFA Nations League last year and started their Euros campaign by thumping 2022 World Cup semi-finalists Croatia 3-0 in Berlin.
