England will compete against Spain in the Euro 2024 final this Sunday, presenting the men’s team with a chance to claim the title for the first time in their history.
The Three Lions have already set a remarkable precedent by reaching consecutive finals and are eager to overcome the heartbreak of their Euro 2020 loss to Italy. Gareth Southgate’s squad has the opportunity to bring football home from the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
Throughout the tournament, England’s performances have been inconsistent, but they have risen to the occasion during critical moments. Their semi-final victory against the Netherlands, secured by Ollie Watkins’ last-minute goal, showcased their resilience. Despite a controversial penalty decision that helped them equalize, England’s determination in Dortmund was evident.
Spain, on the other hand, has been the standout team of Euro 2024. With an impressive record of winning all their matches, scoring 13 goals, and conceding only three, Luis de la Fuente’s side has been dominant. Having already eliminated France and Germany in the knockout stages, they head into the final with confidence, aiming to secure a record fourth European Championship title.
England predicted lineup vs Spain (3-4-2-1): Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi; Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Shaw; Foden, Bellingham; Kane.
