Spain duo and Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams face the biggest night of their careers against England in the Euro 2024 final.

La Roja have stormed to the final in Berlin, with their two wingers vital to the charge, with Luis de la Fuente’s side winning all six games in the competition.

Both players celebrated a birthday ahead of the final, with Lamine Yamal turning 17, and Williams now 22.
