Bukayo Saka has been a crucial player for the England team in the thrilling Euro 2024 tournament. As a star player for Arsenal, he has been receiving praise and is now expected to outshine Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella in the final match between England and Spain. After a slow start in the tournament, Saka has been hitting his stride and recently delivered an outstanding performance in the quarter-final against Switzerland. His 80th-minute equalizing goal and successful penalty kick in the shootout have solidified his position as a key player for the Three Lions.
The England team has also faced some ups and downs throughout the tournament. They had a lackluster performance in the group stage and narrowly avoided defeat against Slovakia with a last-minute overhead kick from Jude Bellingham. In their matches against Switzerland and the Netherlands, they had to come from behind to secure their victories. However, their recent game against the Dutch was their most impressive one since arriving in Germany last month.
One area where England could potentially find success is on the right flank, with Saka in top form. The young player has had a productive season with Arsenal and will now face off against Cucurella, who has been a surprise standout for Spain in Euro 2024. Despite his £62m price tag, Cucurella has struggled to make an impact since joining Chelsea from Brighton in 2022. Former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp believes that Saka will be too much for him to handle in the final match.
Redknapp also expressed his confidence in England captain Harry Kane, who has received some criticism for his recent performances. Despite not being in top form, Kane has managed to score three goals in the tournament and is currently in the running for the top scorer title. Redknapp believes that Kane will continue to lead the team and outshine Spain's striker Alvaro Morata. Despite Morata's hard work, Redknapp feels that he is not on the same level as Kane and was even considered a "disaster" during his time at Chelsea. In Redknapp's opinion, Kane is one of the best strikers in the world and would be his top pick if he were to create a list of the top ten strikers.
As England prepares for the final match against Spain in Berlin, Redknapp is confident that manager Gareth Southgate will not make any changes to the team. With Saka and Kane in top form, the England team is ready to give their all and bring home the Euro 2024 trophy. It's an exciting time for English football, and fans are eagerly anticipating the final showdown between two talented teams.
