Spain vs England: Key numbers you should know ahead of Euro 2024 final
The Three Lions are once again dangerously close to winning the Euro trophy.
Euro 2024 is set to come to an end on Sunday in Berlin at the Olympiastadion when Spain plays England. These two teams have travelled very different routes to the German capital. Spain have been the tournament’s most exciting team to watch, the only powerful side who have consistently relied on visually striking displays that express an integrated and clearly stated personality.
England, on the other hand, have predominantly looked like a fraction of the sum of their components, but their ensemble of appearance has been able to delve deep and crush out the outcomes needed to reach a second successive European Championship final.
In the semifinals, England gave by far their greatest performance of the competition. They currently have a strong sense of momentum and growing confidence that arises from achieving outcomes late in the game.
There’s no disputing Spain’s status as the top squad at Euro 2024. They have won all six games, and in the elimination round, they have already defeated the hosts, Germany, and the pre-tournament favourites France.
In such tournaments, there are always shocks and upsets and the final comes down to these two nations. For the Three Lions, we can say they had luck and belief during the competition, while Spain delivered one of the best performances and deservingly reached the final.
Key numbers you should know ahead of Spain vs England Euro 2024 final
- This is going to be the third European Championship match between Spain and England. In the 1980 group stage, England prevailed 2-1, and in the 1996 quarterfinal, they advanced 4-2 on penalties following a 0-0 draw.
- Three of England’s four major events (World Cup/Euros) meetings against Spain have ended in goalless draws, with the last two of these encounters (1982 World Cup, Euro 96) ending in a draw.
- Prior to this, Spain had lost seven straight matches against the Three Lions. However, they have only lost four of their previous 14 games with England across all competitions (W7 D3).
- The last time England played Spain was in the UEFA Nations League in October 2018, and they came out on top 3-2. In Seville, strikes from Raheem Sterling (2) and Marcus Rashford provided England a 3-0 lead at the break. However, goals from Paco Alcácer and Sergio Ramos gave Spain a rebuttal in the second half.
