After a long month of continental competition stretching from one end of Switzerland to the other, Euro 2025 is set to conclude on Sunday in Basel, where Spain will take on England in a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final.
The paths these two teams have taken through the tournament in Switzerland are starkly different. Spain were in the tough side of the knockout bracket, but eased past the hosts and eight-time winners Germany. England, meanwhile, have struggled, going behind to Sweden and Italy before needing incredible comebacks with the help of their super-subs to grind out the late results needed to mount a defense of their trophy.
