The England team v Spain has been named.

Gareth Southgate selecting his side for this final.

England playing to try and win the 2024 European Championships.

Which would of course be the first ever Euros triumph for England, plus ending 58 years of waiting since the 1966 World Cup win.

The confirmed England team v Spain:

Pickford, Walker, Stones, Guehi, Shaw, Mainoo, Rice, Saka, Bellingham, Foden, Kane

So just the one change, Luke Shaw replacing Kieran Trippier.

A massive decision for Gareth Southgate, as Shaw hasn’t started a game for England since 13 months ago and hasn’t started a club match for five months.

With Yamal a left-footed winger who almost always comes inside, many pundits had pointed to how this could suit a right-footed defender at left-back such as Kieran Trippier. Interesting to see how Shaw copes with the 17 year old.

Subs:

Alexander-Arnold, Trippier, Ramsdale, Konsa, Dunk, Gallagher, Toney, Gordon, Watkins, Bowen, Eze, Gomez, Henderson, Palmer, Wharton

The confirmed Spain team v England:

Simon, Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella, Rodri, Fabian, Yamal, Olmo, Williams, Morata

Subs:

Raya, Nacho, Vivian, Merino, Joselu, Torres, Grimaldo, Remiro, Baena, Zubimendi, Oyarzabal, Jesus Navas, Lopez
