The Euro 2024 final between England and Spain is set to be a thrilling encounter in Berlin.
Gareth Southgate and Luis de la Fuente will lead their teams in an attempt to win the European title, with Spain eyeing their first major trophy since Euro 2012 and England seeking to end their wait since 1966.
Both coaches are looking for standout performers in their squads, and England’s victory over Spain in the 2023 Under-21 European Championship may provide an advantage to Southgate.
In that match, Curtis Jones scored the winning goal as England secured their first U21 European crown since 1984. However, it was Cole Palmer’s behavior that stirred up controversy in Georgia.
The Incident Involving Cole Palmer in the Under-21 Euro Final against Spain
Palmer’s free-kick in the U21 Euro final deflected oddly off Jones, with the goal credited to the Liverpool midfielder.
Following the goal, Palmer ran to celebrate in front of the Spain bench, leading to chaos as players and coaches from both teams clashed on the sidelines.
England coach Ashley Cole was subsequently sent off due to his involvement in the altercation, while Palmer faced criticism from Spain’s Alex Baena and Sergio Gomez, his former Manchester City teammate.
Gomez remarked on Palmer’s celebratory actions, highlighting a lack of apology from the English player and his teammates, suggesting a difference in attitudes between the teams.
De la Fuente has not expressed his stance on the incident or the prospect of facing Palmer, but reports suggest a sense of a “revenge mission” within the Spanish squad.
Will Cole Palmer Feature in the England vs. Spain Match?
Despite the potential for Spain seeking retribution against Palmer, he is unlikely to start in the Euro 2024 final, with Southgate expected to maintain his lineup or make minor adjustments with players like Kieran Trippier and Luke Shaw.
The Chelsea forward, who debuted for the senior England team in late 2023, has served as a impactful substitute during Euro 2024.
Palmer has appeared as a substitute in England’s previous four matches, scoring in the quarterfinal penalty shootout victory against Switzerland and assisting Ollie Watkins for the semifinal-winning goal against the Netherlands.
Cole Palmer’s Performance in the 2023/24 Season
After transferring from Manchester City to Chelsea last summer, Palmer achieved notable success, scoring 22 goals in the Premier League, second only to his former teammate Erling Haaland. He also maintained a perfect record of converting all nine penalty kicks taken.
His solitary senior England goal came in a friendly victory over Bosnia & Herzegovina ahead of Euro 2024.
