Spain will certainly be the favourites for this game.

Team News

FC Barcelona midfielder Pedri will not participate in the final after he picked up an injury against Germany in the quarter-final. However, one good news for La Roja is that they will have Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand returning from suspension.

The only major decision Gareth Southgate must make is regarding the left-back position. With Luke Shaw enjoying some minutes in the tournament after a lengthy injury, he may be preferred ahead of Trippier.
