Update:

Somehow, they’re here. England have made it all the way to the Euro 2024 final. On their knees, clawing at the mud in front of them with broken fingernails, they’ve dug deep and found treasure while everyone else’s fancy excavation systems have broken along the way.

It’s not been pretty but tournament football rarely is. Spain are the exception and go into the game as favourites, based on the tiki-taka 2.0 we’ve been blessed with. Possession-based positional play snapping into a playground party panna match has seen them knock out world champion after world champion. Confidence is high in the Roja camp, but England have been England-ing it pretty much perfectly all the way to Berlin.

Who will play for England against Spain?

England manager Gareth Southgate has sticked with his 3-4-2-1 formation, with a box midfield of Rice, Mainoo, Bellingham and Foden in the middle. Behind them, Jordan Pickford will start in goal with Stones, Guéhi and Walker in a three at the back.

On the wings, Saka will retain his place and he will have Luke Shaw on the opposite flank.

Ahead of the box midfield, Harry Kane will start up top as he looks to wrap up the Golden Boot race, as well as a winner’s medal.
