Players to Watch

Lamine Yamal (Spain)

The 16-year-old Spanish poster boy has risen through the ranks. Yamal scored an awe-inspiring stunner against France to propel Luis de la Fuente’s side into the finals of Euro 2024. Born to a Moroccan father and a Guinean mother, Yamal has been instrumental throughout the tournament and has played a crucial role in navigating Spain’s undefeated streak in the competition.

The golden boy of Euro 2024 will carry the weight of Spanish expectations to be crowned the champions of Europe yet again after a long wait of 12 years.

Jordan Pickford (England)

The veteran English goalkeeper could be the most important player for England in the finals. Jordan Pickford, who has played every single minute in this competition so far, will have to unleash his inner beast when he faces the mighty Spanish attack with the likes of Yamal, Alvaro Morata, Nico Williams, and Dani Olmo.

He has made some crucial saves in the tournament so far, including England’s penalty win over Switzerland in the semis. If the match goes to penalties, the Three Lions will have the upper hand, considering Pickford’s wealth of experience standing between the sticks for England.

Match Facts: Spain vs England

Both teams are unbeaten so far.
England have a slightly better H2H record against their opponents.
Gareth Southgate’s men have reached their second Euro finals consecutively in two editions.
Spain have scored the highest number of goals, 13 goals.

Match Prediction: Spain Win

This will be the third meeting between Spain and England at the Euros, and the Three Lions have fond memories of the previous two, winning 2-1 in the group stage in 1980 and progressing on penalties after a quarter-final draw in 1996.

However, La Roja have only lost four of their last 14 meetings with England overall, having lost the previous seven in a row.

Spain have also won their last three major tournament finals and could become the first European nation to triumph in four straight World Cup/Euros title matches.

The Opta supercomputer gives them a 60.4% chance of lifting the trophy to England’s 39.6%.

England’s Challenge

England will play their first major tournament final on foreign soil after playing the showpiece games at the 1966 World Cup and Euro 2020 at Wembley.

They have never lost a match in Berlin in six attempts (four wins, two draws), only playing more often in Helsinki (eight times), Amsterdam and Sunderland (seven each) without ever losing.

Can they upset the tournament’s outstanding team to bring it home?
