England could reportedly be handed a huge advantage ahead of their Euro 2024 final clash against Spain.
On Sunday night, the Three Lions will contest in back-to-back Euro finals as they line up against Spain at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
Last time out in Euro 2020, Gareth Southgate’s men suffered an agonising defeat after losing to Italy on penalties at Wembley.
This year, England will look to go one step further and bring the trophy home.

Ahead of the final, it has been claimed that England could be given a big boost against Spain.
As reported by The Sun, it is expected that England could have more fans supporting them inside the stadium compared to Spain.
The report stated: “England could have nearly 50,000 supporters backing them in the 71,000-capacity Olympiastadion.
“As fans scramble to try and secure their ticket for the showdown with Spain, early reports are suggesting that the Three Lions fans may outnumber their rivals two to one.”
Prior to the match, it is believed that the English Football Association and the Royal Spanish Football Federation were given an official allocation of 10,000 each for the clash.
Speaking ahead of the final, Southgate spoke about Spain, he said: “They would be rightly favourites for what they have done this tournament. They have been the best team.
“They have got a day longer and in the past three finals, maybe more, it has been quite significant, so we have got to get our recovery spot on. Tactically we will have to be perfect as they are such a good side. But, you know, we are here.”
Cole Palmer said: “I think if you've got to this final then you have to hopefully finish the job. It's all good getting to the final, and you've got to enjoy it because you don't get many moments to enjoy. But, no, everyone just wants to win so bad.”
