Gary Neville has identified Spain's key players that could cause problems for England in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday. After securing their spot in the final with a thrilling 2-1 victory against the Netherlands, Gareth Southgate's team now faces a tough challenge against Spain, who have been the standout team of the tournament. Luis de la Fuente's side has only failed to win one game in regular time and boasts a talented squad filled with world-class players.
While 16-year-old Lamine Yamal has been making headlines with his impressive performance in the semi-final, Neville believes that England should be most worried about Spain's central midfield duo, Rodri and Fabian Ruiz. In an interview with ITV, the former England full-back emphasized the importance of stopping these two players, as they have the ability to control the game and make it difficult for England's full-backs to defend.
Neville's point is further echoed by Spain's coach, De la Fuente, who acknowledges the strength and experience of England's team. He expects a tough and demanding match, despite Spain's impressive performances so far. He also mentions the need for his team to continue growing and improving, as they aim to win their first major tournament final since 2012.
As the match approaches, both teams are aware of the challenges they will face and the level of determination needed to come out on top. Neville and De la Fuente have identified the key players to watch out for, but ultimately, it will be the team that can bring out their best performance on the day that will lift the trophy. It will certainly be an exciting and fiercely contested final between two talented teams.
