Spain are favourites but they have weaknesses England can exploit
Spain are not infallible. They sit on leads, lack of depth on the bench and have holes in the centre of their defence

Spain been the best team at Euro 2024. They are the most coherent pressers and attackers, and everyone is quite rightly expecting them to win in Berlin. Spanish footballers know how to win, too. Spain or Spanish clubs have been in 26 finals in the World Cup, Euros, Champions League or Europa League in the last 23 years, and have won every single time. The only times a Spanish club side have lost a final has been when they played against another Spanish side.
So, how can this England team overcome recent history (nine of those cup-final wins for Spanish sides have been against English teams) and secure their first major tournament since 1966? The good news for England fans is that, even though Spain have been the most impressive side at the tournament, they are not completely infallible.
