  • LISTEN to It’s All Kicking Off! EUROS DAILY: Will Gareth Southgate’s legacy remain intact no matter what happens in the final? 

By Mail Sport Reporter

History beckons for England and Gareth Southgate as they take on Spain in Berlin for the Euro 2024 final – their second consecutive silverware showdown in the UEFA tournament.

The Three Lions lost in dire circumstances three years ago when Italy won on penalties to inflict a harrowing defeat on home soil at Wembley.

Should England and Spain fail to settle the tie inside 120 minutes in the Germany’s capital then a penalty shootout will be used to decide the Euro 2024 champions. 

England have been involved in 10 penalty shootouts at major tournaments and won just three — however, they have come out on top in two of their past three under Gareth Southgate. 

Spain have a better record than England in shootouts, winning five of their 11 in major tournaments. They have lost three of their past four, however, which have all come during Southgate’s reign as England manager.

England’s shootout record

PS: England won another shootout under Southgate when they beat Switzerland in the 2019 Nations League.

50 penalties taken…and we’ve missed 16 of them!

Do not forget Jordan Pickford’s role in this. The England keeper has saved four of the 14 pens he has faced in these shootouts — at least one in each, and twice as many as all other England keepers combined. 

He even scored one in the Nations League shootout against Switzerland! 

We’ve so many options!
