England Euro 2024 Final Live: Results, Goals and Data
The final of the Eurocup is approaching, a tournament in which Spain has shone and step by step has strengthened its favoritism with good performances. Their opponent is England, a team that has surprised many and which, although it started as a candidate, left doubts, but has advanced effectively until it reached the final stage and silenced the critics.
This is a clash between a Spanish team full of personality and good collective play, with the excellent young Lamin Jamal (leader in assists at the Euro, with 3 goals) and figures such as Dani Olmo (one of the tournament’s top scorers with 3 goals), Fabian Ruiz, Nico Williams and Rodri. They are an attacking and fast team with accurate and playful passes all over the court. Luis de la Fuente’s team are the favourites and there is no doubt about it. Spain also returns Dani Carvajal and Le Normand to the final.
Spain are unbeaten in nine games and have won their last eight.
On the other side of the table is Gareth Southgate, a manager who aims for efficiency rather than flash. England have been criticised for being boring and uncreative at this tournament. But the truth is that Southgate has not lost a game in 90 minutes in the Eurocup under England (they lost the 2020 final in a draw on penalties). England are good at pressing and love possession. And Southgate knows how to read games: in the semi-final, his two substitutions decided the victory. And Harry Kane, who also scored three goals, knew how to shine when the team needed it.
England have not lost in 6 games.
