Spain and Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has identified one member of Gareth Southgate's England squad he hopes stays on the bench when La Roja meet the Three Lions in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday.

The two sides go head-to-head in Berlin tomorrow night in what promises to be a thrilling conclusion to the tournament in Germany.

Cucurella has impressed with his performances for Luis de la Fuente's men, with his displays seeing him selected ahead of Bayer Leverkusen's Alex Grimaldo at left-back.

Ahead of the clash at the Olympiastadion, the Blues defender revealed that he has been in contact with his club team-mate Cole Palmer and claimed that he hopes the talented youngster plays no part in the encounter.
