Gareth Southgate, the manager of the Three Lions, has already disclosed his one concern ahead of Sunday’s Euro 2024 final between England and Spain. England defeated the Netherlands spectacularly. According to Gareth Southgate, Spain may have an advantage in the Euro 2024 final due to their extra day of rest.
Following an incredible victory over the Netherlands, England will play the winners of 2008 and 2012 on Friday in Berlin. Harry Kane’s disputed penalty offset Xavi Simons’ incredible opening, and the Three Lions rallied from down to win in Dortmund. The exciting outcome on Sunday was set up by Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa’s thrilling victory in stoppage time. On the other hand, Southgate feels his team is already behind.
Spain overcame a 2-1 deficit to defeat France in their semi-final on Tuesday night, and England’s manager, Garry Southgate, acknowledged that Spain’s extra day to recover and get ready for the final on Sunday presents a challenge.
England must be ‘exceptional’ against Spain to win Euro 2024
If England is to overcome tournament-winning squad Spain in their first-ever final played abroad and win Euro 2024, Gareth Southgate thinks they have to be exceptional both in and out of possession. For the team that fell to Italy on penalties at the end of the previous edition, this is the second time in a row that an English men’s team has advanced to a major final abroad.
An extra day to prepare for an in-form team, Spain will undoubtedly present a formidable challenge, and Southgate knows that if England is to join the 1966 World Cup team in immortality, they must perform at their very best against them.
