Euro 2024 Heads Towards Berlin As England Set To Battle Spain In The Final This Sunday. The Three Lions reached the final by beating Netherlands in Second Leg Semifinal 2-1 and they were set to face the tournament’s most dominant side.
This is the second time in a row that England has reached the final of the European Championship after a sensational defeat to Italy in the final match of Euro 2020 through penalties. However, they stand in the way of a formidable team in Spain who are looking to clinch their fourth European title.
Let’s look at the path that Spain took in order to get to the final of the competition. They have beaten some football giants such as Croatians, Italians, Germans, and French, making it through all the six games and emerging winners without having to go to penalties as has been the norm in the European Championship competition.
The Spanish side is equipped with the tournament’s top scorer in Dani Olmo and has made some thrilling headlines with Lamine Yamal’s astounding performances who is only 16 years old. The young striker of Barcelona has scored many goals and has set many records of age while scoring them along with 21 year old Nico Williams.
On a lighter note, England boasts of a decent record against Spain particularly in major tournaments where they have beaten them twice in the two European Championships meetings. But as it has been observed, Spanish teams have been triumphing in international and club finals in the last few years; Spanish teams have won their last 22 matches in this category since 2001.
With passion increasing, both teams will go into the match with a clear understanding of the fact that they are part of making history. For England, it is in front of their eyes an opportunity to win the first trophy in the major championship since 1966 World Cup. For Spain it would make them the most successful team in the competition’s history of the European championship.
