The free kick finds its way through to Foden and he does well to connect, Simon is there with the game's first save.

Brilliant from Bellingham
Bellingham robs Real Madrid teammate Carvajal while pressing and feeds Kane whose shot is blocked right in front of him. Walker flies in and wins a free kick in a great position.

Yamal and Williams doubling up
Williams has moved over to the right hand side to join Yamal and attack Shaw. They've had no luck so far, but that's a scary sight for England.
36'
Below par Spain crossing
Williams and Yamal are being restricted to crosses into the box and so far they've been nowhere near good enough. That could all change in an instant, though.

Final team talks
The players are back in the dressing room as the closing ceremony gets underway. This is the last chance for Luis de la Fuente and Gareth Southgate to inspire their troops.
David Villa: "We are the best team at the Euros"
Spain's all-time top scorer David Villa is in Berlin with former teammate Xavi. Asked about tonight's match, he said: "England are a very tough team, difficult to create danger against. They are very physical. They have brutal talent up front. But I have faith in Spain, we have shown that we are the best in this Euro."
Southgate on Shaw over Trippier
"He gives us that balance on the left, he's ready to play. Trippier has done really well. The way he's handled everything in the last few weeks has been top class."
Kyle Walker: "It's dog eat dog out there"

Marc Cucurella: "We have a good chance"
Spain defender Cucurella: "England have a lot of young players with a lot of talent so today is a tough game. I think if we do our job and what we've planned we have a good chance of winning."
Juan Mata: "We're afraid"
Euro 2012 winner and Spain legend Juan Mata admits England's team is a scary one. "We're afraid," he said. "Yesterday I was confident, today I'm afraid. England have a great team with players that can win matches up top in a split second. Kane, Foden, Saka, Bellingham. We know we're playing good and we're favourites but we know what England are capable of."

Questions at the back
While England are deliberating over Kieran Trippier or the returning Luke Shaw on the left side, debate in Spain centres around whether Nacho Fernandez or Robin Le Normand will partner Aymeric Laporte in defence.

Olmo: "Why change?"
With a perfect record so far, it's little wonder Olmo thinks his side should stick to what they're doing. "Things are working. Why change?," he said. "We have a unique style, it's going well, it's a strength. Within that you always try to come up with new details, which the coach might suggest. The overall philosophy won't change at all."

Tale of the tape
England have the historical bragging rights in this match-up. They have won 14 matches to Spain's 10, and won the last meeting between the two. However, they have prevailed in only two of the previous 10 games, so in the short-term, at least, La Roja will be feeling confident.

Bundesliga stars leading the way
Both teams have been buoyed by important contributions from their Bundesliga stars. Harry Kane is England's top goalscorer with three strikes, while Dani Olmo has the same for Spain. They are both joint-top of the Golden Boot rankings as a result, and a goal for either in Berlin could see them take home the individual accolade.
