Both the countries have faced each other in major competitions for 27 times. Statistics show England is ahead in clinching titles as they have won 14 times, drawn thrice and lost to Spain in 10 games so far. 

Still, before their 28th encounter in the Euro Cup final in Berlin on Sunday midnight (Indian time) England Hary Kane, during the media conference ahead of the final called Spain as the favourite. Simultaneously, he confirmed that England will not give up and deliver a desperate effort to clinch the title.

Spain the favourite: “I am not the one who decides, it's up to the media. Spain has played a fantastic tournament. It has been the most consistent. But as we know in football, anything can happen in a match. We can beat any rival. We have had difficult times to get here. We've shown a lot of resilience, something that the final requires. We know that they are going to be a tough opponent.”

Lamine Yamal: “I want to wish him a happy birthday. He is a fantastic player. At 17 years old, to do this in a tournament like this says a lot about him. You can see that he plays without fear, with freedom, enjoying himself. He is going to be one of the most difficult players in the match. I want to congratulate him on what he's done so far.”

Meaning for England: “It would be everything, an incredible feeling as a footballer and also for the fans. Being able to celebrate would be very special. I have been here before and it was very hard how we finished the last Euro. We are hungry and really want to get the thorn out of our side. We have prepared well and we have a couple of meetings before the game. It will be decided by the small details.”

His life if he wins his first trophy: “We try not to think about things like that. I know what it would mean to us, you have that in your head a little bit and it's a motivation to achieve success. It's complicated, this is a small bubble. You see the videos and everything, but it's very difficult to know what's going to happen. We don't know exactly what's happening in England but I know they're very excited. I am too, it's going to be a great battle and we're going to give everything we've got. Tomorrow when the match finishes we hope to be the team that lifts the trophy.”

The desire to win and speak to the women's team: “I've been an England fan all my life. We've had some great times and some less so. What the women's team achieved was incredible, they managed to unite the nation and we hope to do the same tomorrow.”

Feelings looking back at the dressing room: “Before coming to any tournament you have to believe that you can win it. That has been growing, also because of the way we have gone through it. We have shown the faith we have, the resilience. It is like any other match, we prepare exactly the same. We know that any opponent is difficult, we do not take anything for granted and we need all that and much more to be successful tomorrow. I am very happy to be part of this.”
