Two years after their cruel defeat in the Euro 2020 final against Italy (1-1, 3-2 on penalties), England are once again on the verge of continental glory. This time, it is Spain who stand in their way for the final on July 14. This is a great opportunity for Gareth Southgate and his men to atone for the affront at Wembley and finally lift the coveted trophy.
For this crucial mission, the English players will not be alone. They will be able to count on a strong support in the person of King Charles III. The British monarch sent a message of encouragement to the team, underlining the pressure that rests on the shoulders of the Three Lions.
“Good luck to England!”
“If I can encourage you to win before there is a need for last-minute miracle goals or dramatic penalty shootouts, I am sure the heart rate and blood pressure of the nation would be greatly eased. Good luck to England!”thus launched the sovereign of the United Kingdom.
A royal message that should galvanize the English troops. See you on Sunday at 9 p.m. for an explosive duel between England and Spain.
