Kick-off is at 21h00
Teenage sensation Lamine Yamal is hoping to receive the perfect birthday present when Spain lock horns with England in the
Euro 2024 final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Sunday, July 14.
The Barcelona winger etched his name into the history books with his wonder goal against France in the semi-finals as he became the youngest player to score in the final of a major tournament at the age of 16 years and 361 days.
Luis de la Fuente's side had fallen behind after just nine minutes as Randal Kolo Muani headed Les Bleus in front, only for Yamal to announce himself to the world 12 minutes later.
Dani Olmo completed the comeback on 25 minutes with his third goal of Euro 2024, tying him with Three Lions striker Harry Kane, Georges Mikautadze (Georgia), Jamal Musiala (Germany), Cody Gakpo (Netherlands) and Ivan Schranz (Slovakia) for joint-top scorer.

Yamal, who will celebrate his 17th birthday on Saturday, July 13, received praised from his manager and team-mates for the extraordinary feat, but he's hungry for more and wants to help his country win a record fourth title.
"I'm very happy to have made it to the final. Now the most important thing is to win it," the youngster said after his Man-of-the-Match display.
"We were in a difficult moment. You wouldn't expect a goal so soon, but I wanted to put it in where it went in, and I'm very happy.
"I try not to think too much, enjoy it and help the team and if it works out like this, I'm happy and content with the victory. I want to win, win and win. I'll celebrate my birthday here in Germany with my team."
Commenting on his stunning strike, Yamal added: "I was aiming for exactly the top corner where my shot went in and that was a feeling of pure elation."
