For England it is a second Euros final on the spin, after a heartbreaking penalty shootout victory to Italy three years ago, and a first ever on foreign soil. The Three Lions have never won the competition but came into the tournament tipped by many as favourites. On the eve of the final, manager Gareth Southgate said his players were in better shape after losing at Wembley in 2021, adding: “If we’re not afraid to lose, it gives us a better chance of winning.”
