Build-up and updates from Euro 2024 as England and Spain prepare for Sunday's final in Berlin, including training and latest from each camp.
Arsenal's first black player Brendon Batson has spoken about his admiration for current Gunners forward Bukayo Saka's 'mental resilience' following his standout displays for England at Euro 2024.
