Summary
Jimbo, Daniel Storey and Duncan Alexander bask in the glory of England reaching their first ever European Championship final.
The Three Lions come from behind at Wembley to overcome Denmark and progress to the Euro 2020 final. England - masters of keep-ball, shaking off their demons and of shielding the ball and waiting for a free-kick. We salute the likes of Walker, Rice and Maguire.
England will face Italy in the final who eliminated Spain on Tuesday. Alvaro Romeo informs us on how La Roja’s performance has been received and the extent of Barcelona’s struggles with their wage bill.
Plus semi-final despair from 2014. And Emi Martinez’s sensational year.
RUNNING ORDER:
• PART 1: England 2-1 Denmark (02m 00s)
• PART 2: Spain’s exit and Barca’s salary struggles (33m 00s)
• PART 3: The odds with Paddy Power (43m 30s)
