This Sunday at 9 PM, Spain and England face off in the Euro final. As has been the case since the beginning of the tournament, both managers are expected to stick with continuity.
After a month of European football, the Euro reaches its conclusion with a final pitting Spain against England. This promises to be an exciting encounter between two teams with completely different styles. On one side, there is the attractive and flowing football of La Roja, while on the other, there is the disciplined and hard-to-break English team.
This Sunday evening, both teams are expected to remain consistent. Luis De La Fuente’s Spain will not change their initial line-up and can count on their key players, including the return of suspended players like Dani Carvajal. Only Pedri will be absent due to injury. In goal, Unai Simon will hold his place. Dani Carvajal will be on the right flank, with the duo of Le Normand and Laporte in the centre. Marc Cucurella will take up the left-back position.
Classic Set-ups for Spain and England
In midfield, Rodri will be partnered with Fabian Ruiz, Spain’s in-form player of this Euro. Having scored 3 goals in this competition, Dani Olmo will once again start in support of the forwards. The wings will be manned by Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, while Alvaro Morata, captain of La Roja, will lead the attack.
For England, Gareth Southgate is expected to opt for a three-man defence. Jordan Pickford will be in goal, with Marc Guehi, John Stones, and Kyle Walker forming the central defence. Kieran Trippier will play as the left wing-back, while Bukayo Saka will take on the challenging role of right wing-back.
In central midfield, young Kobbie Mainoo will start alongside Declan Rice. Finally, the attacking trio will consist of Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, and Harry Kane, who could also become the top scorer of the tournament (with 3 goals so far). Both managers have therefore decided to rely on continuity in this competition.
