Spain and England will face each other in the final of the prestigious Euro championship. The internet meme really is going to come to life.
Sunday’s EURO 2024 final between Spain and England at the Olympiastadion in Berlin looks to be an incredible match.
Spain is the clear favourite to lift the Euro championship this year because of their incredibly sharp pressing technique, which has amazed everyone in this competition.
The 16-year-old Lamine Yamal, who turns 17 the day before the final, was instrumental in Luis de la Fuente’s youthful team’s semifinal victory over France.
Dani Olmo scored the game-winning goal in the team’s comeback. Spain still tries to control the play’s tempo, but they have excellent counterattacks and transitions that may harm you in a variety of ways.
Somehow, England has made it to the championship game, and Gareth Southgate’s players have persevered well. They lost their last sixteen games, but they came back to win all of them, including their semifinal matchup with the Netherlands, which was their greatest performance of the competition.
They are still getting better and are headed on the right path. The Three Lions know they need to get better, but they have a knack for staying in games and finding a way to win when it matters most.
Ollie Watkins was the hero off the bench to score another late goal for England. In fact, England’s status as the underdog in their second consecutive European Championship final should work in their favour.

Spain Team News
Alvaro Morata is the primary injury concern. He was hurt during the post-match celebrations after Spain’s semifinal victory over France when a security officer slid and struck him.
Pedri got injured during the quarterfinal match against Germany, so he’s already missed, but Olmo has filled in admirably. The key question is whether Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand return right away after serving suspensions that kept them out of the semifinal match against France.
Although Jesus Navas and Nacho stepped in with all of their expertise, it appears that Luis de la Fuente will start with Le Normand and Carvajal.
Out wide, Lamal and Nico Williams, two young players, have been nothing short of amazing, and when they play well, Spain performs well. With their excellent understanding of central midfield, Fabian Ruiz and Rodri will try to seize control of the engine room and drive Spain up the pitch.
England Team News
The main concern is if Luke Shaw is well enough to start for the Three Lions, who currently have a fairly stable team. In the semifinal, he replaced Kieran Trippier at halftime, adding natural balance to England’s 3-4-2-1 formation as a left wing-back.

Additionally, England might switch to a back four in order to prevent Spain from creating space behind their wing-backs. However, given the effectiveness of the back three in the previous two games—both in maintaining defensive solidity and granting England’s gifted attackers greater freedom—Southgate is probably going to remain with that lineup.
