ENGLAND take on Spain in the Euro 2024 final as Gareth Southgate’s side go for history in Berlin!
However, to do just that, the Three Lions will need to beat a Spain side that sent pre-tournament favourites France crashing out of the tournament.
Southgate – who has now led England to back-to-back Euro finals – is expected to name the same team who started in the 2-1 semi-final triumph over the Netherlands.
This means keeping Kieran Trippier in place of Luke Shaw in the left wing-back slot.
And Phil Foden playing in a more central position behind Harry Kane up front.

AFTER what has been a tough tournament of times, what an opportunity Gareth Southgate and his team will have to end in the best possible way, writes Jack Wilshere.
We might like a team that played better football. But it’s a results business.
Germany, Italy, France, Portugal and of course Holland would love to be where we are.
People will say we’re lucky because we’re on this side of the draw.
But we won the group. France didn’t and then ran into Spain.
You can say it wasn’t that pretty, but we’re there.
Gareth and his coaches won’t have been happy with some of the performances.
But I did like the way Gareth and his team have dealt with it.
There was no panic coming out of the camp.
Everyone gave the same message: ‘We know we can better, but we’re here still.’
And on Sunday they will be in Berlin to play Spain.
They will probably have to produce two halves of football as good as the first against Holland to beat them.
We have improved as the tournament has gone on and that is how you win things.
You want to peak in the final.
If Gareth can lead England to that major trophy we’ve all been waiting for, it will be the perfect answer to the critics and a brilliant day for us all.
