England have replicated the 2016 Euros winners' run in every knockout stage game

The Three Lions are the underdogs heading into the showpiece event as Luis de la Fuente's men have lit up the tournament with wins over Germany and France.

But England supporters are now pointing towards their team's mirroring of Portugal's run eight years ago as a reason to believe they can claim victory over Spain.

Southgate's side beat Slovakia after extra time in the last 16 as Jude Bellingham's dramatic late overhead kick saved them from being knocked out.

They then beat Switzerland on penalties in the quarter-finals, before a win in 90 minutes over the Dutch in the last four.

That is exactly the same path Portugal took to the 2016 final in Paris.

Fernando Santos' team beat Croatia after extra time to seal a quarter-final place, before they beat Poland on penalties.

A 2-0 victory over Wales in the semis then set up a final with hosts France - who were the favourites heading into the match.

And Eder's extra-time goal clinched Portugal's first ever major trophy in front of a stunned Parisian crowd.
