England also lost the 2020 European Cup final against Italy at Wembley, and its standout goalkeeper Jordan Pickford said the England players were "devastated" after Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final in Berlin.

"He [Southgate] just mentioned that was the 14th match we have had in the Euros and the first match we have lost in normal time," Pickford revealed. "We have been on a hell of a journey and we are devastated tonight - there is nothing more to say."

While the Spain players and management were celebrating a record fourth European title, England's search for a first Euros crown goes on.
