Football fans across Europe are waiting to cheer on some of the game’s biggest names at Euro 2024. Champions Italy will be hoping to put a largely disappointing qualifying campaign — which saw them finish six points behind Group C winners England — behind them. Host nation Germany are among the favourites to taste success but the smart money suggests the Three Lions or France will come out on top.
Gareth Southgate’s side saw their dreams crushed by the Azzurri at Wembley three years ago in the delayed Euro 2020 final and are hotly tipped to go one better. But with Kylian Mbappe at the disposal of Didier Deschamps, Les Bleus are firmly in the mix to win the European Championship for the third time.
