England v Spain LIVE: Score and updates as Kane booked in cagey Berlin final


You are an England fan watching Euro 2024 final inside Olympiastadion

England take on Spain in the Euro 2024 final tonight as the Three Lions bid to win a first major men’s trophy for 58 years and make history.

The Three Lions came so close to glory at the last Euros, losing to Italy in a heartbreaking penalty shootout at Wembley, but Gareth Southgate’s side have made a bright start in Berlin in what has been a cagey final against Spain.

Luke Shaw has validated his inclusion in the line-up over Kieran Trippier so far with a tenacious display defensively, while adding an extra dimension in the final third when England attack down the left wing.

The brilliant teenaged winger Lamine Yamal has already been a threat for Luis De la Fuente’s side, though, with Nico Williams also posing a problem on the opposite flank. Follow all the latest updates and analysis from England v Spain in the Euro 2024 final below:

England 0-0 Spain

Our senior football correspondent Richard Jolly has his say from Berlin:

Very little has happened. Luke Shaw has lost his record of scoring within two minutes of the start of every European Championships final he has played in. England have tried a few diagonal balls to bypass Spain’s midfield. Harry Kane has got booked for looking slow and off the pace. Spain have had far more of the ball. No one has had a chance of note.
