The upcoming Euro 2024 final between Spain and England has sparked excitement among soccer fans as these two pre-eminent soccer countries prepare to face off in a title match for the first time in major tournaments since 1996. Spain, the best team in the tournament, will take on England, known for its resilience and ability to come from behind in knockout-stage games.
Despite not meeting competitively since 2018, the history between Spain and England dates back to 1929, with memorable encounters shaping their rivalry. One such moment was Stuart Pearce's redemption during the Euro '96 quarterfinals when he scored a crucial penalty for England, exorcising the demons of a previous shootout failure.
