As Euro 2024 reaches its climax, the grand finale in Berlin promises an electrifying contest between Spain and England.

Here are ten intriguing things to know ahead of Sunday’s showdown at the Olympiastadion:

Spain’s Quest for Record Fourth Title

Spain are aiming to become the first European men’s team to win four major tournament finals consecutively, following the victories of their youth and women’s teams.

Triumphing on Sunday would also make them the most successful team in European Championship history, surpassing Germany’s three titles.

England’s Historic Opportunity

This final marks the first time England’s senior men’s team will compete in a major tournament final on foreign soil.

A victory would end 58 years of hurt since their 1966 World Cup win and bring the elusive Henri Delaunay Trophy to England for the first time.

Lamine Yamal’s Phenomenal Rise

Spain’s Lamine Yamal has been a revelation. At just 16, he became the youngest scorer in Euros history with a stunning goal in the quarter-finals. His performance on Sunday could further cement his status as a rising star.

Tactical Battle

Luis de la Fuente’s Spain will likely employ their favoured possession-based style, focusing on intricate passing and fluid movement.

England, under Gareth Southgate, will counter with a 3-4-2-1 formation, leveraging their speed and direct play, especially through Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden.

Defensive Fortresses

Spain’s defence has been formidable, conceding only three goals, one of them an own goal. The return of Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand from suspension will bolster their backline.

England, with the reliable John Stones and the rejuvenated Luke Shaw, also boast a solid defensive unit.

Midfield Maestro Rodri

Rodri’s presence in Spain’s midfield is crucial. His ability to dictate play and break up opposition attacks will be key in stifling England’s creative talents like Bellingham and Foden.

Young Guns on Display

Both teams feature young talents making significant impacts. England’s 19-year-old Kobbie Mainoo has seamlessly integrated into the squad, while Spain’s Yamal and Nico Williams represent the new generation of La Roja.

Managerial Strategies

Gareth Southgate’s strategic nous has been pivotal in navigating England to back-to-back finals. His ability to adapt tactics and manage game situations will be tested against de la Fuente, who has revitalized Spain after recent tournament disappointments.

Historical Context

Sunday’s clash revives memories of past encounters. Spain and England have had their fair share of battles, with England edging out Spain in the Euro 1996 quarter-final on penalties. The stakes are higher now, with history and glory on the line.

Whether Spain etch their name further into history or England finally brings football home, this Euro 2024 final is set to be a classic.
