On July 14, the Euro 2024 football final will take place in Germany, where the national teams of Spain and England will meet. Former Ukraine national team player Yuriy Virt shared his expectations of the decisive confrontation:
"As for me, the psychological advantage will be on the side of the Spaniards, who are the only ones in the continental championship to have gone the marathon distance without losses. The English were lucky in several matches. This confidence should help the Iberians score a quick goal, and then, when the British attack with great force to get back at them, make life difficult for the opponent with sharp counterattacks.
Although the English have a great incentive to jump above their heads, as this team has conquered the highest step of the podium only in 1966, when it became the world champion at home. And the current generation of the national team, of course, is eager to rewrite history and improve the statistics of performances in the international arena.
But it will be very difficult to do this, because the Spaniards are hungry for big victories at the national team level: the last time they became European champions was back in 2012. And this will also greatly fuel interest in the decisive confrontation," Wirth said.
