4 factors that make England able to beat Spain in the EURO 2024 final

EURO 2024 is about to come to an end with the title battle between England and Spain in Berlin at 2am on July 15, concluding a month of exciting competition and surprises on German soil.

Despite criticism aimed at Gareth Southgate and his team, England reached the EURO 2024 final, fueling their ambition to win the European football championship for the first time.

The determination to win EURO 2024 is more urgent than ever for Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden,... because this is the first time they are present in a major tournament final not on home ground.

And the bitterness and regret of EURO 2020 is still there for the English, where they lost to Italy in a penalty shootout, right at their home ground Wembley. Southgate and his students are determined to take revenge, also to change their 'fate'.

Discussing the highly anticipated EURO 2024 final between England and Spain, former player Alan Shearer pointed out four factors that could help the Three Lions defeat the tournament's strongest opponent to win the trophy:

Firm belief in victory

England will face Spain, the strongest opponent at EURO 2024 – having won all six of their matches so far without needing a single penalty. But the Three Lions have every reason to believe they can win and write their name into the history books.

What you do know is that Gareth Southgate and his players believe they can do it. They have always talked about EURO 2024 as a win and that belief has never wavered.

The brilliance of individuals

The Three Lions' performances in Germany have not always demonstrated their ambition and belief in winning the trophy. But even when England have not played well, they have still found a way to show why we are in the battle for the Euro 2024 crown.

It is England who possess the stars who can take the team through the difficulties, finding a way to win the three knockout matches at EURO 2024 – the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals. The timely brilliance of individuals who scored important goals in the last minute, or the perfectly executed penalty shootout, despite the pressure, in the quarter-final against Switzerland,…

Luck

In addition to having a strong belief and possessing stars who can create moments and change the game (from the bench), one thing that cannot be ignored for England at EURO 2024 is luck.

According to Alan Shearer, "The Three Lions have been supported by luck in their journey to the EURO 2024 final".The former striker listed a number of situations where only luck could have "saved" England: Xherdan Shaqiri's shot hit the crossbar in the final seconds of the quarter-final match against Switzerland, or the controversial decision to award England a penalty in the semi-final 2-1 win over the Netherlands,...

Calm down, no fear

Shearer pointed out: England reacted well after conceding the first goal. The former Three Lions captain assessed: the EURO 2024 semi-final against the Netherlands was the home team's best match. Moreover, besides talent, the England team also has solidarity and team spirit.

Expect fierce individual battles on the pitch between the two teams. While Spain have the formidable Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Rodri, the Three Lions also possess names that can hurt their opponents.

And England have another important quality: fearlessness. Southgate and his men are on the brink of making history with their game against Spain on Sunday. It’s exciting to see if they can lift the EURO 2024 trophy…

If Alan Shearer pointed out 4 factors that could help England defeat Spain to win EURO 2024, former player Paul Merson even predicted the final result, England won 2-1 Spain, saying that the match would be decided by the battle in midfield.
