The UEFA EURO 2024 final will take place at Olympiastadion Berlin on Sunday, July 14, with Spain taking on England. The grand finale promises football magic in the heart of Germany, where history will be written and legends forged. England and Spain had faced each other 27 times across various competitions, with England holding a 14-10 advantage over La Roja. Three matches had ended in draws.

Here are some key moments from their past rivalries:

1. 1950 World Cup: In Brazil, Spain and England met in a crucial group-stage match. Spain emerged victorious with a 1-0 win, thanks to a goal by legendary forward Telmo Zarra. England’s hopes were dashed, while Spain advanced to the final round, eventually finishing third.

2. 1982 World Cup: The two teams found themselves together in the second group stage, alongside West Germany. The match in Madrid ended in a goalless draw, leading to England’s elimination without losing a game. West Germany went on to reach the final.

3. Euro 96 Quarter-Final: A rare encounter between the nations, this match at Wembley ended 0-0 after extra time. The penalty shootout saw Fernando Hierro blast Spain’s first kick off the bar, creating an iconic moment in English football history.               
   
   Fast forward to Euro 2024, the final clash promises drama, skill, and passion.
