The Three Lions will face three-time winners La Roja at Olympiastadion Berlin on Sunday as they bid to be crowned European champions for the first time.
Despite being handed a favourable side of the Euro 2024 draw, it has been far from plain sailing for pre-tournament favourites England. Having squeezed through the group stage with two draws and a narrow win, the Three Lions' attacking deficiencies were saved by a 95th-minute Jude Bellingham overhead kick, which avoided elimination against Slovakia in the Round of 16.
They beat a spirited Switzerland side on penalties in the quarterfinals after a moment of magic from Bukayo Saka cancelled out the Swiss opener. Ollie Watkins then struck in the 90th minute to send England into the Euro 2024 final with a thrilling 2-1 semifinal win over the Netherlands.

While England were perceived to be in the easier half of the Euro 2024 draw, Spain's route to the final could not have been more trickier. In the group stage, they defeated 2018 World Cup semifinalists Croatia and reigning European champions Italy.
Then in the quarterfinals they overcame hosts Germany, who were arguably the second-best team in the Euros, and in the semifinals, they dumped 2018 world champions France out of the mix thanks to yet another electrifying performance from 17-year-old superstar Lamine Yamal.

England vs. Spain lineups & team news
Gareth Southgate has settled on a 3-4-2-1 system for England since the quarterfinal win over Switzerland.
Left-footed full-back Luke Shaw, who scored the Three Lions' only goal in the Euro 2020 final against Italy, gets the nod at left-wingback over Kieran Trippier, having overcome an injury that he carried over to Germany. After coming off the bench in the past two games and replacing Trippier at halftime in Dortmund, the Manchester United defender earns his first start of the tournament as Southgate tries to formulate a plan to restrict the dazzling Lamine Yamal on Spain's right wing.
Calls for the energetic Ollie Watkins to start ahead of Harry Kane, who has struggled to make a notable impact and cut a frustrated figure for much of the tournament despite getting on the scoresheet three times, were never likely to be headed after Aston Villa scored the winner off the bench against the Netherlands. As expected, Southgate has kept faith with is campaign, who will lead the line ahead of attacking midfielders Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden.
England starting lineup (3-4-2-1, right to left): Pickford (GK) — Walker, Stones, Guehi — Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Shaw — Foden, Bellingham — Kane.
Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente has defenders Robin Le Normand and Dani Carvajal back from one-match bans, slotting into the back four in place of Nacho and Jesus Navas respectively.
Alvaro Morata appeared to hurt his knee when a security guard slipped and collided with him during the post-match celebrations against France. Morata was wincing as he made his way off the pitch, raising doubts about his availability for Sunday's final, but De la Fuente's faith that his captain would recover in time proved well-placed.
Spain starting lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Simon (GK) — Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella — Dani Olmo, Rodri, Fabian Ruiz — Lamine Yamal, Morata, Nico Williams.
England vs. Spain prediction
- Score prediction: England 1-1 Spain (a.e.t, England to win on penalties)
Both teams have the defence solidity required to shut up shop. Both teams have the attacking talent required to breach the other's rearguard, although the Three Lions' attack has occasionally lacked the clinical finish and precision during this Euros, leading to some lackluster performances.
Spain are a vibrant, well-organised and energetic side with bags of flair and creativity, as well as a ruthless streak that has seen them down the likes of France and Germany along the way. However, it can also not be denied that the Three Lions have more talent and experience in high-stakes matches, which plays a crucial role in games of this magnitude.
There are no two ways about it, it's very tough to call and could well go all the way. It seems unlikely that this encounter will be settled over the course of 90 or even 120 minutes. No fan from either nation wants the final to be decided by a penalty shootout, but that is the direction TSN expect Sunday's battle to head in, and Southgate's side will hope to rely on their recent experience from 12 yards to finally bring football home.
