The Euro 2024 final is here, with Spain and England set to battle it out at Berlin’s Olympistadion for European football’s ultimate crown.
Spain are the favourites after playing some entertaining and eye-catching football throughout the tournament, taking down heavyweights such as 2022 World Cup finalists France and Germany en route to the final, with the electrifying 17-year-old Lamine Yamal having a brilliant campaign and becoming one of the biggest names in the sport already.
Despite being stacked with generational talent, England’s road to a second straight final has been more arduous, with the Three Lions having to dig deep and play rigid football to get to the big dance.

Gareth Southgate has settled on a 3-4-2-1 system for England from the quarterfinal win over Switzerland onwards, but he still had a couple of selection dilemmas to make for the final.
Luke Shaw, who scored the Three Lions’ only goal in the Euro 2020 final against Italy, comes in at left wing-back ahead of right-footed defender Kieran Trippier, having overcome an injury that he carried over to Germany. After coming off the bench in the past two games and replacing Trippier at halftime in Dortmund, the Manchester United defender is part of a plan to restrict the dazzling Lamine Yamal on Spain’s right wing.
Calls for the energetic Ollie Watkins to start ahead of Harry Kane, who has struggled to make notable impact and cut a frustrated figure for much of the tournament despite getting on the scoresheet three times, ramped up after Watkins scored the winner off the bench against the Netherlands. However, Southgate is banking on his best striker, leader and captain to come good when it matters the most.
England starting lineup (3-4-2-1, right to left): Pickford (GK) — Walker, Stones, Guehi — Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Trippier — Foden, Bellingham — Kane.
Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente has a double defensive boost for Sunday’s grand finale with defenders Robin Le Normand and Dani Carvajal both returning from respective one-match bans. They slot straight back in to replace Nacho Fernandez and 38-year-old Jesus Navas, the latter of whom had a tough time of things against the electrifying Kylian Mbappe last time out and went off with a knock in the second half.
Striker Alvaro Morata looked to hurt his knee when a security guard slipped and collided with him during the post-match celebrations. Morata was wincing as he made his way off the pitch, raising doubts about his availability for Sunday’s final, but he is fit enough to lead out the team in Berlin.
Otherwise De La Fuente has a full-strength squad available at his disposal to pick starting XI from, with the exception of Pedri missing out with the knee injury he suffered against Germany. RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo replaced him against France and retains his place in midfield after bagging the winner against Les Bleus.
Spain starting lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Simon (GK) — Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella — Dani Olmo, Rodri, Fabian Ruiz — Lamine Yamal, Morata, Nico Williams.
