Spain vs England Live, Euro 2024 Final
Spain and England are gearing up for an epic showdown in the finals of Euro 2024 at the Olympiastadion Berlin Stadium, vying for the coveted European title.
Spain, tied with Germany as joint-record winners of the tournament with three titles under their belt, have faced struggles in major competitions in recent years. Despite their triumph in 2012 against Italy with a resounding 4-0 victory, they have faltered against the same opponent in the Round of 16 in 2016 and the semi-finals in 2020. However, in this edition of the tournament, Spain has displayed dominance, notably defeating hosts Germany in the quarter-finals.
On the other hand, England is hungry for success, never having clinched the European Championship title. The Three Lions are determined to end their 58-year wait for glory in major tournaments. Led by Gareth Southgate, the team has experienced a rollercoaster journey throughout the competition, marked by thrilling late goals.
In a fascinating twist of fate, just as Germany secured victory in the 1996 Euro when England hosted the tournament, now the Three Lions have the chance to seek vengeance on host nations by claiming their first Euro Trophy on German soil. The historic rivalry between Spain and England spans 27 encounters, with Spain emerging victorious in 14 matches, England in 10, and three games ending in draws.
Their most recent clash occurred in the 2018 Nations League, where England emerged triumphant with a 3-2 scoreline. However, in the Euros, England holds the edge, defeating Spain 2-1 in the Group Stage in 1980 and prevailing 4-2 on penalties in the quarter-finals of the 1996 edition.
