Spain arrives at the final with an almost perfect EURO 2024 campaign. They have won all six of their matches, demonstrating both attacking flair and defensive solidity. Their victories include impressive wins against Croatia (3-0), Italy (1-0), Albania (1-0), Georgia (4-1), Germany (2-1), and most recently, France (2-1).
Coach Luis de la Fuente’s team has impressed with their beautiful and effective attacking style, boasting both the most potent attack and the tightest defense in the tournament. Despite missing key players in the semi-final against France and even falling behind, Spain showed remarkable resilience and found heroes in unexpected players like Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo. Their fluid, creative, and dominant performances have evoked memories of Spain’s golden era between 2008 and 2012, when “La Furia Roja” conquered both the EURO and the World Cup. There is a growing belief that this current, perhaps less heralded, Spanish squad could make history once again.
Standing in Spain’s way is England. While England’s journey to the final hasn’t been as flawless as Spain’s, and they haven’t won all their matches, Gareth Southgate’s team has displayed a tough, pragmatic, and incredibly difficult-to-beat mentality. England started their EURO 2024 journey with a 1-0 win against Serbia, followed by a 1-1 draw with Denmark and a goalless draw against Slovenia to secure the top spot in their group.

In the Round of 16, England overcame Slovakia 2-1, with a dramatic 95th-minute equalizer playing a crucial role. They then edged out Switzerland in a tense penalty shootout. In their semi-final clash against the Netherlands, England conceded early with a goal from Xavi Simons in the 7th minute. However, in a testament to their resilience, the “Three Lions” mounted another comeback, with Harry Kane equalizing in the 18th minute and Ollie Watkins scoring the decisive goal in the 92nd minute to send England to the final.
This marks England’s second consecutive EURO final appearance. The opportunity for Coach Southgate and his team to finally achieve European glory is now tantalizingly close. Football fans around the globe are counting down the days until the Euro 2024 final date arrives, to witness who will be crowned champions of Europe.
