(WATCH) Nico Williams fires Spain into Euro 2024 final lead

Spain have stormed into a crucial 1-0 lead in their Euro 2024 final with England.

La Roja are aiming for a first European title since 2012 as they take on the Three Lions in the German capital.

Spain were tipped as pre-game favourites going into the final but neither side were able to find a breakthrough in a tight first half in Berlin.

Despite suffering a setback at the break with key midfielder Rodri Hernandez forced off with an injury, the blow of losing the experienced operator was not felt immediately, as Nico Williams raced into the box to smash home Lamine Yamal’s superb low pass.

Spain will look to hold on in the coming stages, with England aiming to end decades of hurt on the international stage on a huge night.

Williams remains linked with a sensational summer exit from Athletic Club to join Barcelona before the start of the new season.
