    Good morning from Berlin!

    It is a beautiful day here and with lots of hours to go until kick-off it seems most England and Spain fans are sleeping off the night before, with the city’s many bars filled with football supporters way into the small hours.

    The smattering of fans I’ve seen wandering about are either relaxing at cafes with coffee or wandering about and ticking off their tourist hotspot lists before switching full focus to the final later.

    Spain have arguably been the most impressive team in the tournament and were on the tougher side of the draw.

    In the group stage they defeated Italy, Albania and Croatia to top the group. This saw them face Georgia in the last 16. The team conceded their first goal of the tournament in the match with Georgia scoring first through an own goal but Spain's response was impressive, eventually winning the game 4-1.

    In the quarter-final they faced hosts Germany and Dani Olmo scored first but Florian Wirtz equalised in the 89th minute. Mikel Merino slotted the winner in extra time which set up a semi-final against France.

    In what has been dubbed one of the best matches of the tournament, Spain v France was a thriller. Randal Kolo Muani poked France ahead in the ninth minute but Spain were quick to react with two quick goals from Lamine Yamal and Olmo.

    Now only England stand in their way of a trophy.

    Harry Kane still hasn't won a final. Yet.

    "There's no question I would swap everything I have done in my career to have a special evening," he said on Saturday.

    Will he finally lift a trophy?

    England's journey to the final has been far from easy with the team criticised for early performances in the tournament.

    Their Euros began with a 1-0 win over Serbia thanks to a Jude Bellingham goal. A 1-1 draw with Denmark followed and they finished the group top after drawing 0-0 with Slovenia.

    In the last 16 England faced Slovakia. They team initially went behind after Ivan Schranz scored but a last-minute equaliser from Bellingham sent the game to extra time. Up stepped Harry Kane who headed home the winner.

    So England were into the quarter-finals where they faced Switzerland. Again they conceded first through Breel Embolo but Bukayo Saka's effort sent it to extra time. No one could find a winner and so it was a penalty shoot-out that decided it, England winning it 5-3.

    The semi-final saw England compete against their toughest opposition yet in the Netherlands, who scored first in the last four match. Xavi Simons hit an impressive effort to beat Jordan Pickford. Kane cancelled it out with a penalty and super sub Ollie Watkins scored in the last minute of normal time to seal the win.

    Now Spain await.
