England's route to the Euro 2024 final in Germany

England fans headed into this summer’s Euros with the usual mix of wild optimism, stomach-churning nerves and cautious hope that this might just be the year it all changes.

Gareth Southgate has successfully managed to gain redemption for his penalty miss at Euro ’96, with the former defender leading England to three successive major tournament knockout stages since 2018.

A World Cup semi-final spot in 2018 set the tone for Euro 2020, but penalties once again crept up in Southgate’s rear view mirror, as Italy showed nerves of absolute steel to win the final at Wembley.

Who did England face in the Euro 2024 round of 16?

Despite some unconvincing performances, England finished top of Group C and will face one of the best third-place sides from either Group D, E or F.

After a dramatic round of fixtures on the final day of the group stage, it emerged that the Three Lions would face Slovakia at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday, June 30.

It looked like Gareth Southgate’s side would be making an early exit before Jude Bellingham levelled the scores with an overhead kick at the death and Harry Kane’s early winner in extra time sealed their place in the next stage of the competition.
