England reached his second grand final under Gareth Southgate with the victory over the Netherlands and will face Spain in Berlin as they seek to end a 58-year run without a big men’s trophy.
Ollie Watkins scored a stunning late winner to set England on the road to Berlin just as the match looked set to go into extra time and even penalties.
For much of the clash with the Dutch, England looked a different side to the one that struggled to create clear-cut chances against Slovakia, and Kobbie Mainoo and Phil Foden showed their best form of the tournament.
Spain will be a different challenge. They overcame the significantly tougher side of the draw, beating hosts Germany and World Cup finalists France on the way to the final, and will have had an extra day’s rest compared to England having played in the semi-final Last day.

Team News
Southgate is likely to have some decisions to make for the final. Luke Shaw has played an increasingly important role in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, but the England manager has given his full support to the much-maligned Kieran Trippier, who is likely to start at left-back again.
Ollie Watkins scored with his late goal to send England into the final and could be putting pressure on Harry Kane for the first-choice striker role after the captain failed to have the impact he would have liked on the tournament.
Spain were without key players Robin Le Normand and Dani Carvajal due to suspension in the victory over France, but both are expected to return to face England. Pedri, however, will remain unavailable due to injury.
Predicted lineups
England XI: Pickford; Walker, Pedras, Guehi; Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Trippier; Bellingham, Foden; Kane
Spain XI: Simon; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella; Olmo, Rodri Fabian Ruiz; Yamal, Morata, Williams.
Chances
Spain 10/13
Draw 6/4
England 15/8
Prediction
England will continue to show improvement but it is difficult to imagine how a game against Spain, who have faced Europe’s best in the competition, will go compared to the easier path for Southgate’s men. Spain 1-1 England (Spain win in extra time)
