Speaking about his thoughts after the match, Gibbs-White said: "It's hard to put into words. We've been working for the past two years just to get to this moment.

"It's not an achievement yet, we still have loads of work to do. I feel like we have a good together team and the right team that can go all the way."

He added: "I feel confident. Obviously there's always room to improve. My main role for the team is just to try and help the team as much as possible on and off the ball. I feel like assists have been a big part of my game this season and I've carried that into the tournament. It's just about trying to get more goals now. Full focus is on Saturday and just the team."
