Spain’s coach Luis de la Fuenta had to make a substitution in the second half due to injury. Midfielder Rodri stayed in the dressing room, Martín Zubimendi replaced the number six. “A heavy loss for the Spaniards,” said TV expert Lothar Matthäus on MagentaTV. Rodri threw himself into a shot from Harry Kane shortly before half-time and unfortunately collided with Aymeric Laporte. The Spaniards had already lost Pedri due to injury in the quarter-final against Germany.

Williams puts Spain in the lead – Palmer equalizes
But the Spaniards coped well with the change – and took the lead! A quick combination involving Daniel Carvajal and Lamine Yamal was completed by Nico Williams (47th) to put England 1-0 ahead.
Cole Palmer, who had been substituted 145 seconds earlier, equalized for England in the 73rd minute. This woke up his team and the English fans. But Spain’s response was not long in coming, as Mikel Oyarzabal scored the 2-1 (86th) after an assist from goalscorer Williams.

Shocking moment for England star
As in the semi-final, Spain’s full-back Marc Cucurella, whose handball in the quarter-final was not punished with a penalty, was booed by some spectators in Berlin, but there were also chants for him. Kyle Walker caused a moment of shock when he suffered a rather strange injury in the early stages (12th minute).
While attempting to clear the ball at the touchline, Walker slid into the Spanish coaching zone and hit coach Luis de la Fuente on the foot. Walker got stuck at the transition between the grass and the artificial turf. The full-back remained sitting on the grass, and captain Kane also asked how he was. Kyle Tripper was already warming up as a possible substitute, but Walker was able to continue playing.
Ballack’s half-time conclusion: “Not a pretty game”
The game then became a little tougher. Kane was shown the yellow card for a foul on Fabián Ruiz (25th minute). The Bayern star hit the Spaniard on the foot with his studs. Shortly afterwards, Dani Olmo was also cautioned when he was too impetuous in the fight for the ball against Declan Rice (31st minute).
Chances were few and far between until half-time. In injury time, Phil Foden took a free kick from the half-field and sent the ball towards goal, but Unai Simón saved it easily. “This game is characterised by caution, which is why it is not a nice game for us spectators,” analysed Michael Ballack on MagentaTV.

Euro 2024: Spain line-up already here!
Spain surprisingly announced its starting line-up just two hours before kick-off. Coach Luis de la Fuente has decided against any major surprises. Robin Le Normand is preferred to Nacho in central defence. Captain Álvaro Morata is also fit and in the starting eleven. Youngster Lamine Yamal, who celebrated his 17th birthday on Saturday, is also in focus. Leipzig star Dani Olmo will also start.
Around three hours before kick-off, English media reported that Southgate had surprisingly selected Luke Shaw as a starting player. Kieran Trippier had to make way for him. The official confirmation was made just under an hour before kick-off. For Shaw, it will be his first start for the Three Lions in over a year. The Manchester United left-back has previously made two appearances as a substitute in this tournament.
“He is an experienced player, that’s why I put him on. He gives us a good balance on the left side,” Southgate explained his move immediately before kick-off.
But the change also caused surprise. “That was not to be expected, especially since Trippier, as a right-footer, would have been a good fit against Lamine Yamal, who likes to move inside,” said former international player Michael Ballack on Magenta TV.
As expected, England’s starting eleven is led by captain and Bayern star Harry Kane.

Euro 2024: Will Spain become record European champions?
So far, Germany and Spain share the title of record European champions with three victories each. A victory in the final against England would see “La Furia Roja” win the European Championship for the fourth time after 1964, 2008 and 2012, making them the sole record holders.
The Three Lions, on the other hand, are hoping to end their 58-year title drought. The motherland of football celebrated its only major triumph to date by winning the World Cup in 1966.

The European title would be a first for England, who are in the final of a EURO for the second time in a row. In 2021, they lost to Italy at home in Wembley on penalties. The defending champions were eliminated from the tournament in the round of 16 with a 2-0 defeat to Switzerland. Who will succeed Italy as European champions?
On paper, Spain is the favorite, after all, coach Luis de la Fuente’s team put in convincing performances throughout the tournament. But the coach didn’t want to hear any of that. “We’ll leave the talk of favorites to the betting offices and journalists,” he said at the press conference before the game.
On the way to the final, the Seleccion’s focus was on youngster Lamine Yamal, who celebrated his 17th birthday on Saturday, and Leipzig star Dani Olmo, who, with three tournament goals, currently leads the European Championship goal scorers list together with Harry Kane and others.
Euro 2024: Will Bayern star Kane win his first major title?
In addition to the top scorer award, Bayern star Kane also wants to finally end his personal title curse. The long-time Tottenham Hotspur striker also came away empty-handed in the fight for trophies last season after his move to FC Bayern Munich.
Harry Kane is captain of the English national team
In addition to the captain, Gareth Southgate’s team will probably also rely on substitutes, alongside stars such as Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden. In the semi-final, the English booked their ticket to the final thanks to a co-production by jokers Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins.
UEFA pulled off a surprise in the run-up to the final when appointing the referee: 35-year-old Frenchman Francois Letexier will be refereeing his first European Championship final. Letexier has already officiated three times at the tournament, and he refereed the Spanish team’s 4-1 win against Georgia in the round of 16. The highlight of the referee’s career so far was the final of the European Super Cup last year between Manchester City and Sevilla FC.
