England Euro 2024 squad: Gareth Southgate's full team
The England Euro 2024 squad is on the brink of history - can Gareth Southgate and his side finally deliver that elusive trophy?

The England Euro 2024 squad is hopeful of ending the 58-year wait for a trophy this summer, and there's just one game left between them and immortality.
Having reached the Euro 2024 final, the England squad faces one last tricky test: against Spain at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Sunday. Having been the standout performers of the tournament, Spain head into the game as favourites - though England have proven luck is on their side with last-minute bicycle kicks, winners and penalty shootout victories.
But after Jude Bellingham's heroics and Ollie Watkins' unlikely stunner, which England player is set to step up and write their name into the history books? Which player will earn themselves a statue alongside Bobby Moore at Wembley, all in the hope that Harry Kane can lift the trophy come the final whistle.
It's been far from plain-sailing for Gareth Southgate's side upon reaching the final, however. While they managed to top Group C unbeaten, criticism rained down upon the England Euro 2024 as they struggled to find any rhythm in games against Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia.
That thought was compounded in the last 16, when England required a a 95th-minute equalising overhead kick from Jude Bellingham to save themselves against Slovakia. Harry Kane did head a goal in early in extra-time to ensure the Three Lions progressed to the quarter-finals, but the set-up of the team looked unbalanced. Southgate's decision, therefore, to switch to a five-at-the-back formation against Switzerland worked well - that is, until Breel Embolo bagged in the 75th minute.
Fortunately for Three Lions supporters, Switzerland weren't ahead for long, with Bukayo Saka cutting in from the right wing five minutes later to score from 20 yards out. Penalites evenutally beckoned, with Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Saka, Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold all holding their nerve to slot home from 12 yards and send England into the semis.
In doing so, Southgate had reached his third semi-finals in four tournaments, before reaching his second final with victory against the Netherlands. While Xavi Simons put their opponents 1-0 ahead early on, England quickly managed to hit back through Kane after the awarding of a contentious penalty. Then, with the game seemingly heading to extra-time, Watkins made a late darting run into the box, firing past Bart Verbruggen in the Dutch goal from a seemingly impossible angle. Cue pandemonium in Dortmund, with England heading to another final.

England manager: Gareth Southgate
Former Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate inherited the England job on an interim basis following Sam Allardyce and his pint of wine with the 'fake sheikh'. Now, Southgate is only behind Alf Ramsey in terms of success in the Three Lions gig... but without a trophy to his name despite overseeing a huge improvement.
After managing his 100th game in charge of the Three Lions against Switzerland and his 101st against the Netherlands, he's guaranteed to reach 102 - but will it be his last? With speculation over his future beginning to swirl, this tournament could be the final time Southgate manages England. He has his critics, despite his clear success as manager of the team, so perhaps he might feel heading out on a high - regardless of the result - makes the most sense.
England's star player
Jude Bellingham
Jude Bellingham finished his first season as a Real Madrid player by winning the Champions League in his home country against his former club: now, he could cap off the season of his dreams with an international trophy, too. Do that, and he'll likely be leading the way for the Ballon d'Or - not bad for a 21-year-old with the hopes of a nation resting on his shoulders.
But he's risen to the occasion with such great effect. While he's not been at his best this tournament, he's still proven what he's capable of in difficult moments: a group stage winner against Serbia was followed up by a stupendous overhead kick in the last minute against Slovakia to salvage England's survival at Euro 2024. Then, when Southgate really needed him, Bellingham took the second penalty of England's impressive shootout against Switzerland in the quarter-finals, setting the tone for the rest of his team-mates to follow from.
With the Three Lions now in the final, their No.10 might need to come up clutch once more...
