England will take on Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday after a dramatic injury-time win against the Netherlands on Wednesday. Ollie Watkins' brilliantly taken strike sent the Three Lions to their first major final on foreign soil.

Captain Harry Kane equalised from the penalty spot in the first half after Xavi Simons' stunning opener in Dortmund. Aston Villa's Watkins then snatched a later winner to send the nation into pandemonium.

Gareth Southgate's side will now face Spain in Berlin on Sunday and will be hoping to go one better than the deferred Euro 2020 final three years ago. England lost to Italy on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Wembley.

While only a privileged few will be able to make it to the Olympiastadion to cheer on England in person, pubs and fan zones across the country will be packed. There are also calls for Monday, July 15 to be made a bank holiday.

Fans can also show their support by adding a message of support to our cheer map. Just select your country, enter the first part of your postcode (if you’re in the UK), put in your display name, then type your message to Gareth Southgate and the boys.

Sunday’s match will kick off at 8pm British Summer Time, or 9pm if you’re lucky enough to be out there in Germany. It will be the first time that Spain and England have played each other at a major tournament since the quarter-finals of Euro 96.

That game finished 0-0 with England winning on penalties. After the emotional rollercoaster the Three Lions have put the nation through, you can't rule out a repeat of that.
