Despite several lethargic performances that triggered a wave of criticism from fans and pundits alike, England overcame the Netherlands to book a place at the Euro 2024 final, where they will face Spain.

In anticipation for the Three Lions' second European final match in as many tournaments, we’re going to take a look at how the two sides compare in FC 24.

Check out the video above to see what happened when we played the match, or keep reading for all the stats.

It has been a rocky tournament for Gareth Southgate’s team so far, with many predicting an early exit for England.

But after a superb Xavi Simons strike opened the scoring for the Dutch inside just seven minutes at Wednesday’s semi-final, England managed to battle back through a controversial Harry Kane penalty.

Supersub Ollie Watkins exploded into the game late on and slotted a shot past goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen to make it 2-1 in the final moments.

However, Spain represent an altogether different threat to what England have faced in the competition so far, having put in multiple strong displays against the likes of Croatia and Italy in the group stages, before knocking out both Germany and France en route to the final.

England’s defence will need to be cautious of forwards Nico Williams and 17-year old wonderkid Lamine Yamal's pace, as well as a robust midfield featuring Rodri and Fabián Ruiz.

But after improved performances from the likes of Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Kyle Walker in the semi-final, surely England fans can now start to believe that an international trophy is maybe, just maybe, coming home?

Before the final kicks off on Sunday 14th July 2024, let’s assess how England and Spain look in FC 24's Euro 2024 mode.

Both England and Spain are closely matched in FC 24’s Euro 2024 mode, but the Three Lions are rated slightly higher.

Just like England, Luis de la Fuente’s side has a five-star rating, but Southgate’s squad edges Spain in terms of its Attacking and Defensive scores, which are 84 and 83 respectively.

Comparatively, the Spanish are scored at 81 (ATT) and 82 (DEF), but they do have a better Midfield with a rating of 85 against England’s 84.

This will surely give England fans hope that Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden can navigate their way past Spain’s defence on Sunday.
