Euro 2022 final: England captain Harry Kane leads good luck messsages for Lionesses

England men's captain Harry Kane led the good luck messages ahead of the Lionesses' Euro 2022 final against Germany at Wembley.

Kane posted a social media message of support for the women's team, who will face the Germans for the European championship crown this evening.

Tottenham striker Kane led England's men to the Euro 2020 final last summer, with Gareth Southgate's side losing to Italy on penalties.

Posting a video on video, he said: "Hi Lionesses, just wanted to wish you all the best for today's game against Germany.

“It's going to be an incredible experience and an incredible atmosphere at Wembley, I can't wait to be there myself.

"So, I wish you all the best, good luck, go get that win, the whole country is behind you, we're behind you.."

English Formula One driver George Russell, who will start on pole position for the first time in his career at today's Hungarian Grand Prix, was also among those sending their support.

He wrote on Twitter: "Best of luck to the Lionesses today!"

England's women's cricket team - who are currently competing at the Commonwealth Games - also showed their support.

In a video posted on England Cricket's Twitter feed, captain Heather Knight - who lifted the Women's World Cup at Lord's in 2017 - had some advice for Lionesses skipper Leah Williamson.

She said: "Leah, there is nothing better than captaining your side in a home final. Embrace it, enjoy the moment, keep everyone calm, keep passing out from the back like you do for the Arsenal and you're going to be great.

"Best of luck girls. We're all behind you. Come on England."
