Team information and lineup for Spain - England match
Spain welcome back Daniel Carvajal and Robin Le Normand after suspension. Both were absent from the Euro 2024 semi-final against France. This is an important return for La Roja as both have been indispensable for the Spanish team since the beginning of the tournament. The Bulls will be without midfielder Pedri due to injury for the rest of the tournament. However, Dani Olmo is doing quite well as a replacement. The Leipzig player scored in the two matches against Germany and France.

Ayoze Perez also missed the Euro final against England due to a muscle problem. However, this is not a very important factor for Spain. Fortunately for La Roja, captain Alvaro Morata returned in time. The striker was accidentally injured by a security guard. He appeared to be in quite a bit of pain and limped off the field after the match against France. However, in the end, Morata did not have a serious problem. On the England side, they will have their strongest squad. Luke Shaw has fully recovered from his injury. This player was a substitute in the Three Lions' last two matches against Switzerland and the Netherlands. Kieran Trippier has played quite well in this position since the beginning of the tournament, but Luke Shaw can completely start. The Man Utd player was the one who scored the opening goal in the Euro 2020 final against Italy.

Alvaro Morata wants to recreate the moment Casillas won the Euro
"It's good to think about it and imagine it becoming a reality," Spain captain Alvaro Morata told reporters when asked if he would like to emulate legendary goalkeeper Iker Casillas lifting the Euro 2008 trophy in an interview on UEFA's website. "It's good to imagine positive things. But we still have a difficult final against a very strong England team.

"You can't imagine, and I can't even begin to describe, what it means to captain Spain to Euro," Alvaro Morata added ahead of the final between Spain and England at the Olympic Stadium (Berlin, Germany) early tomorrow morning (02:00 on July 15, Vietnam time). Morata is having an impressive journey with his teammates in the Spanish team at Euro 2024, when they went through 6 consecutive wins before entering the final. However, the UEFA homepage revealed that Morata often cried every time Spain's match at Euro ended because of the immense pressure of being the captain. "It's pure emotion. Like a fan in the stands. When I play, I'm 100% focused. And when the coach takes me off, I'm like a parent of any player watching their child from the stands. I'm sure Mikel Merino's parents cried the other day when he scored against Germany in the quarter-finals. Then there was Lamine Yamal's parents when he scored against France in the semi-final. Me too, that's my personality. There's no shame in crying about positive things and I hope I'll have more to cry about tomorrow," Morata said.

This is the second consecutive time the English strategist has helped the Three Lions reach the Euro final, when England previously lost to Italy in a penalty shootout in the Euro 2024 final three years ago. England have not won a major trophy since the 1966 World Cup. So Southgate stressed: "We have to win this trophy to gain the respect of the rest of the football world. I was there as a fan at the World Cup and the Euros before I became England manager. Most of the big matches were broadcast by the TV stations, not England. They only showed the finals and the big matches. We had high expectations but our performance was not commensurate. Now we are in the Euro 2024 final. Tomorrow, I am no longer afraid of what can happen because I have experienced everything. I want the players to have that courage. If we are not afraid of losing, we will have a higher chance of winning."
