After a month of intense competition, the EURO 2024 finals will find a new champion after the final match taking place tonight. Whether Spain or England win, they will both set their own records.

Spain have won the EURO 3 times, if they beat England, the Bulls will become the first team in history to win the European Championship 4 times. Meanwhile, the Three Lions have never reached the top of the EURO despite playing in the final 3 years ago. If they beat Spain, England will win the European Championship for the first time in history.

Spain’s journey with England at EURO 2024 has different colors. Spain shows off technical play, “embroidering flowers and weaving brocade” before finishing off the opponent. Meanwhile, the Three Lions sow sadness in the opponent with a stubborn and lulling play.

The proof is that although the Three Lions reached the final, the British media and fans of this team are still not satisfied. Because they think that, with such a quality squad, the England team must have a better, more convincing performance.

However, coach Southgate and his students do not care about that. The most important thing for the Three Lions is that they have reached two consecutive finals, something many previous coaches have not been able to do.

England’s pragmatism will be a difficult problem for Spain. Although this team has the strongest attack at EURO 2024, their explosiveness comes mostly from the midfield. Therefore, when facing the muscular midfield of the Three Lions, Spain will need to have a reasonable approach to the match.

Regarding the history of confrontation between Spain and England before the EURO 2024 final, the Three Lions are leaning towards the Three Lions. Accordingly, Spain and England have met 27 times in history, the Three Lions have won 14, drawn 3 and lost 10 matches.

Although England has a better head-to-head record than Spain. However, if counting the last 8 matches in all competitions, the Three Lions are at a disadvantage, winning 2 matches, drawing 1 and losing 5.

LIVE Spain vs England EURO 2024 final

While hosts Germany, France led by Kylian Mbappe and England are considered strong candidates for the EURO 2024 championship, Spain has not received much attention. However, the “Bulls” have really impressed by winning all 6 of their last matches.

Spain easily overcame the “group of death” with the presence of defending champions Italy, Croatia and Albania. The “Bulls” won 9 absolute points and did not concede a single goal. Luis De La Fuente’s army then eliminated Georgia, host Germany and France to play in the final.

The match between Spain and England in the EURO 2024 final will take place at 2:00 a.m. on July 15 (Vietnam time).
Throughout the tournament, Spain have maintained a dedicated attacking style of play that combines the experience of veterans like Rodri and Alvaro Morata with the unpredictability and talent of youngsters like Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams. Now, the “Bulls” are on the verge of becoming the first team to win four EURO championships.

On the English side, it must be admitted that the Three Lions did not play well until the semi-final against the Netherlands. Coach Gareth Southgate has often been criticized for his pragmatic and boring style of play at this year’s EURO. However, England’s expensive stars seem to be starting to come together at the perfect time.

Having lost the EURO 2020 final on home soil to Italy, England certainly do not want a repeat of that tragedy. Jude Bellingham’s 95th-minute equaliser against Slovakia in the last 16, the penalty shootout win over Switzerland in the quarter-finals and Ollie Watkins’ 90th-minute winner against the Netherlands in the semi-finals have created a sense that England might somehow be destined to lift their first major trophy in 58 years.

Coach Southgate has fond memories of facing Spain. During his playing days, he helped the Three Lions defeat Spain in a penalty shootout in the quarter-finals of EURO 1996. The 53-year-old coach helped England beat the Bulls 3-2 away in the Nations League in the most recent meeting between the two teams.
