Early morning on July 11th, England defeated the Netherlands in the Euro semi-final and will face Spain at the Olympiastadion in Berlin for the Euro Championship title. Notably, Spain has never defeated England in the European Championship.
The Three Lions, defeating the Dutch, have reached the European Championship final for the second time in a row. The last Euro final left England with bitter memories, as they lost to Italy on penalties.
According to Spain’s AS newspaper, Spain and England have met 27 times throughout history, with the following record: Spain has won 10 times, England has won 13 times, and the two teams have drawn 4 times. Of these 27 matches, 19 were friendlies, 2 were World Cup matches, 4 were Euro matches, and the other 2 were recent UEFA Nations League matches.
In the last 5 matches, the two teams have been closely matched: Spain has won 2, drawn 1, and England has won 2.
In the European Championship, the Three Lions have had the upper hand as Spain has never defeated them in the Euros. In the 1968 Euro, Spain lost both matches, they also lost in the 1980 Euro, and were eliminated by England in the penalty shootout in 1996.
Spain hopes to become the first team to win four European Championships, while England seeks to win their first European Championship title. The Olympiastadion in Berlin will reveal the answer on Sunday.
