Spanish winger Lamine Yamal has revealed how he thinks La Roja can beat England in the Euro 2024 final. The Iberian nation hopes to win their fourth European Championship and their first in a dozen years in Berlin.
The Barcelona star said that he trusts the team to play well and claim the cup today, saying(via Fotmob):
"A dream final, especially with England in front. Everyone wants to play matches like that. Now what we want is for the cup to end in Spain. Playing the way we are doing, like against Germany or France. Being ourselves, having the ball and controlling the game at all times. I think we are the best at that and nobody can stop us if we do that."
The Spaniard concluded, saying:
"It is clear that as a team there is no one like Spain, playing the ball, going for the pressure. We are doing very well. In the end, putting that intensity in is key. Without it you cannot win a Euro final."
England and Spain have won two games and drew once in their last five clashes. The Three Lions won their last meeting with La Roja and will hope they can do so again in Berlin and claim the Euro 2024 trophy.
