England manager Gareth Southgate says his team will need to execute a flawless tactical plan to defeat Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday.
After securing their first major final on foreign soil with a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands, Southgate recognised Spain as the favourites, citing their superior performance throughout the tournament and additional day of rest.
Emphasising the need for perfect execution against the three-time champions, Southgate is determined to lead England to their first Euros title.
The team’s morale is high following a strong semifinal performance, and players like Rice are using the memory of the Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy as motivation.
Palmer, who contributed to the semifinal win with a crucial assist, is confident in the squad’s ability to “finish the job” and achieve victory in Berlin.
