Breaking Pele's 66-year-old record. Achieving things Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could only have dreamed of at his age.

It is fair to say Lamine Yamal has shaken up the game of football in the past year - and he could have his finest moment yet on Sunday.

The youngest person to play at the Euros, to assist a goal at the Euros and to score a goal at the Euros is bidding to become the youngest person to win the Euros when his Spain team take on England in Berlin.

After his goal-of-the-tournament contender in the semi-final win over France, former England striker Gary Lineker said "a superstar is born".

So what has Barcelona winger Yamal, who turns 17 today [Saturday], achieved so far in his career - and why is it so special?

And then there were two.

Spain have caught the eye with some fantastic performances, while England have slowly but steadily improved.

Who has the best players though? Would you have Lamine Yamal or Bukayo Saka on the right?

Rodri or Declan Rice in midfield? Marc Cucurella at left-back?

We want you to pick a combined XI here.

ESPN's Spanish football presenter Gemma Soler on Lamine Yamal: "It's true that we knew we were seeing something different when he made his debut at 15. You could see that he had no fear, he was really disrespectful - in a funny way - against his opponents.

"Last season he was a regular starter for Barcelona at 16, but we're talking about an international tournament at the top level. We knew he could be good but, honestly, not this good."

Chris: Sat on a train from Munich to Berlin as I speak [on Friday]. Planned this trip months ago for my 12-year-old-son. It's his first tournament and we live in Paris - he's Anglo-French with a French mom but 100% England when it comes to football. We arrived in Munich on Tuesday and have been here for both semis. Then we booked travel and accommodation in Berlin for four days to be there for the final, so couldn't have worked out better. He's loving it as all his French cousins will be so upset!

Tom: Dad booked flights and hotel back in March. We went to the quarter-finals in Dusseldorf but now on the search for the golden ticket! He's been taking me since I was four, my first every memory was a Scholesy hat-trick against Poland at the old Wembley. Praying that we both get tickets for my dad's sake.

We hope you do too, Tom. Good luck!

One of these Spain fans currently partying in Berlin will probably be tearing it up for Barcelona and their country at the next Euros!

Lille midfielder Angel Gomes reveals how he sees himself as a "big brother" to Cole Palmer after the pair won the Under-21s European Championships in 2023 together.

Palmer scored the winning goal in a 1-0 win against Spain last summer to help Lee Carsley's men lift the title in Batumi, Georgia.

When asked about Palmer, Gomes told BBC Sport: "Cole is like my little brother. I speak to him often. He’s from near me. So getting on with Cole was easy.

"Nothing really fazes, Cole. He takes everything in his stride. He has always been like that. He is relaxed but when you're playing with him, he would show it. He is someone you can rely on.

"He scored for us in the final and it wasn’t a surprise because he has got quality. You say he was inexperienced but he came from one of the best academies in the world. But I am sure people on the outside were surprised [about how good he has become]."

He added about Anthony Gordon, who won Player of the Tournament: "Gordon surprised me because he came late to the Under-21s but I saw his mentality and how he was. Off the pitch, he is such a lovely guy, gets on with everyone. As soon as he steps on the pitch, he is different, a fighter.

"He set the tone for the whole team and deserved to win player of the tournament. We missed Marc [Guehi]. He didn’t go with us but I had played with Marc since I was 15 so to see him doing what he is doing now is no surprise for me."

England also recently won the U17s World Cup against Spain and Angel believes winning at youth level can help the seniors.

"100%, it is very similar, you are playing the best players in England. Only the best get selected to play for the national team so it is always special to be part of the group.

"We had a lot of leaders in the U21s, everyone wanted to play. We really drove the standards to the point where training was flowing, it was a fight, everyone was battling. It was so competitive.

"We just felt no one would beat us. We got to the final and won – it was special."

As an Englishman living in Berlin, Finn Charlton-Jones is perfectly placed to assess the atmosphere in the German capital.

"It's been amazing watching the tournament unfold but difficult seeing England keep heading out to west Germany for games, again and again," said Finn, 28, who is originally from Colchester but moved to Berlin in 2020.

"We've been watching the games on street corners and in bars, but now they're finally coming here I cannot wait. There's so many English fans here and we're so ready."

Finn had initially hoped to be able to buy a ticket for Sunday's final against Spain, but is now planning to head down to the Brandenburg Gate with friends to watch at the "Fanmile".

And he had a spot of advice for England supporters who want to avoid the crowds and sample a bit of the local culture if they are heading to Berlin without a ticket.

"One of the big impacts on the city has been the transformation of all the Spätkauf - 24-hour shops where Berliners often sit at tables outside and drink 2€ beer before going out," he said.

"When the Euros started, suddenly they all had a stack of crates with a TV sellotaped to the top and a small intimate crowd of 10 people or so watching. Very DIY.

"They have really been the go-to local viewing place for a lot of people and that's created a great sense of local community. It's the classic football bringing people together."

Gary Lineker reached a World Cup semi-final and knows what it's like to play in a penalty shootout. What does he think lies ahead for this England side...?

The job Luis de la Fuente has done with the Spain squad, which doesn’t have many Barcelona or Real Madrid players is impressive. This time it’s different. It’s more of a team.

The key for me is for Kobbie Mainoo and Declan Rice to be able match up with Rodri and Fabian Ruiz.

Also, if you have runs from deep, with Jude Bellingham, which the French never did - but Germany did - if you have Bellingham running into the box, even Phil Foden from a more central position and leaving Luke Shaw on the left-hand side, I think this is when [Spain] are not used to teams attacking them that way.

Spain control the game so well - if you change that a bit, and bring a lot of people into the box - with crosses, with movement, with that intensity - I think they can be on the back foot.

They are so well organised and drilled, if you can create chaos in their heads and on the pitch, then England will cause them trouble.

Manager Gareth Southgate has had to deal with a rollercoaster of emotions during this journey to the final of Euro 2024 - from fierce criticism to fulsome praise and everything in between.

He said himself that it has not been easy to shrug off the volleys of abuse and beer cups at times, but he has made it to Berlin and a second straight Euros final.

A penny for them, Gareth?

Gareth Davies: I'm from Wigan but currently inter-railing from Dortmund to Berlin via Munich and Nuremberg (because why not when you've got two days to kill in Germany?) My friend Ste is meeting me in Berlin on Saturday morning when he flies in...from Charleston, South Carolina, USA!

Dom Berry: Gloriously, booked Berlin in January for this weekend, not knowing it was the final weekend and never expecting England to make it anyway. Hotel right next to the fan zone. It's like winning the lottery! Off to buy England flags for the whole family. Come on Ingerland!

Three Lions? This Jude didn't get that memo but the newborn sloth at Dudley Zoo, just a few miles from Bellingham's hometown Stourbridge, is backing the local hero it's named after.

Jude is the newest arrival at the zoo and is already working on their Bellingham bicycle kick impression by hanging upside down all day.

Although admittedly the sloth doesn't have its namesake's speed.

“Jude was an obvious moniker for our baby, who was born just before the start of the Euros, as we throw our local and national support behind Jude and the team ahead of Sunday’s final," said keeper Jodie Dryden.

Do you feel more pressure playing for your country than your club? I would think so, you've got 60 million people wanting you to win, as opposed to the likes of Manchester City which would be nowhere near that number.

You're looking at the size, the intensity of the support when you walk out on the world stage.

BBC's Harry Low is among the army of travelling England supporters facing long queues for the Eurotunnel at Folkestone in Kent.

There have been reports of delays because of IT issues triggered by new systems introduced by passport control in France.

However, that has not stopped the Germany-bound contingent from savouring the moment.

"Flags are fluttering from the windows of many vehicles, including a group from Yorkshire who are heading to the German capital without tickets," said Harry.

"Are they optimistic of bagging some before kick off? 'We’re Leeds fans,' they replied, 'we live in hope!'"

Sunday's Euro 2024 final will see some of the finest footballers on the planet go head to head. But one club is likely to see more starters than any other: Manchester City.

Kyle Walker, John Stones and Phil Foden are expected to be among the England line-up selected by Gareth Southgate, while it would be a huge shock if Rodri does not start for Spain.

Technically, Real Sociedad could have the most players feature during the game, though many of their five Spanish representatives - Alex Remiro, Robin le Normand, Mikel Merino, Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Oyarzabal - are expected to start on the bench.

Real Madrid will almost certainly have two starters in Jude Bellingham and Dani Carvajal - and, although they have left this summer, Joselu and Nacho might be claimed by the La Liga giants.

Barcelona and Arsenal have four and Athletic Bilbao and Chelsea three among the teams.

A European Championship winner wearing sky blue next season is guaranteed and all players involved in the final will return to pre-season later than others after their progression through the tournament.

As a result, Walker, Stones, Foden and Rodri will not go on the pre-season tour to the United States.

This is what we like to see, swapping tales from the Bullring I'm sure.

I really hope it's a cagey match. I think if it's free-flowing and fast, it suits Spain. It suits the way they play and the players they've got. They've got exciting players and they can do that.

If it's stuffy, slow, cagey and dare we say it, boring - then I think it suits England.
