Spain road to Euro 2024 final
Spain has been the most impressive team at Euro 2024.
They were the only side to win all three group stage games, which was a notable achievement given they were in a group featuring Croatia and defending champions Italy.
They continued their run in the knockouts, dispatching Georgia in the round of 16 before defeating host nation Germany in a thrilling quarter-final.
This set up a match with France, where they came from behind to win 2-1, with wonderkid Lamine Yamal scoring a super goal to help book Spain's spot in the final.

England road to Euro 2024 final
England's road to a second straight final has been more arduous, with the Three Lions having to dig deep and play gritty football to get to the big dance.
Despite their squad being stacked full of talent, they scored just two goals in the group stages as they won once and drew twice in what was viewed as a soft group.
They were then seconds away from being dumped out in the Round of 16 by Slovakia, before Jude Bellingham scored a stoppage-time bicycle kick to send the game to extra-time, before Harry Kane scored the winning goal in the 95th minute.
Their quarter-final against Switzerland also required a late goal from Bukayo Saka to keep England alive, though they held their nerve to secure a rare penalty shootout win.
They were better against the Dutch in the semi-finals, though they fell behind and needed a 90th minute goal from Ollie Watkins to punch their ticket to the final in Berlin.

|---|---|---|---|
| June 17 | Group stage | Serbia 0-1 England | Arena AufSchalke |
