but free—scoring spain will be favourites at the olympia stadion. unbeaten so far at this tournament. also and in other sport... there was always going to be a new ladies champion at wimbledon we'll head to the all england club where barbara krejikova has lifted the trophy. welcome to berlin, we're at brandeburg gate where fans have been congregating all day, one of the city's iconic landmarks, and england have arrived here in the hope that in the next 2a hours berlin will be written into their history as they look to win their first major final
6:31 pm
overseasall 26 players morning at their team base about 150 miles south west. over the past month from gelsenkirchen to, frankfurt, cologne, dusseldorf they have struggled to find their feet, until that semifinal against in dortmund against the dutch, a vastly improved performance, and there is every expectation that they will be unchanged for the final, perhaps the one question is whether luke shaw, gets to start in place of kieran tripper in that left wingback role we might get some clues later in the programme when we hear from gareth southgate. england arriving here in the city, a few hours ago, southgate is due to speak at the olympiastadion in the next 15 minutes and we will of course bring you that news conference live against the dutch, a vastly improved performance, and there is every expectation that they will be unchanged for the final, perhaps the one question is whether luke shaw, gets to start in place of kieran tripper in that left wingback role. we might get some clues later in the programme when we hear from gareth southgate.
6:32 pm
england arriving here in the city, a few hours ago, southgate is due to speak at the olympia stadion in the next 15 minutes and we will of course bring you that news conference live here on sportsday on bbc news. they took four hours. we have seen the players arrive. they signed off from team days earlier. the fans have been pouring into the city. many of them without tickets. some of the tickets changing hands at over £2000. the official allocation
6:33 pm
is 10,000 each side but i have spoken to the head of uk police in germany, he says they might expect somewhere in the region of 50,000 england fans arriving. not getting in that wanting to be here to enjoy the atmosphere. an atmosphere they hope will be jubilant. nervous, will bejubilant. nervous, they will be jubilant. nervous, they have will be “ubilant. nervous, they have won will be jubilant. nervous, they have won every game. — will be jubilant. nervous, they have won every game, the _ will be jubilant. nervous, they have won every game, the game - will be jubilant. nervous, they have won every game, the game as - will be jubilant. nervous, they have won every game, the game as the i won every game, the game as the game, we are going to play the game. yeah. it game, we are going to play the game. yeah. , ., , ., yeah. it is our time. it is about time. bellingham, _ yeah. it is our time. it is about time. bellingham, all- yeah. it is our time. it is about time. bellingham, all over- yeah. it is our time. it is about time. bellingham, all over it. i time. bellingham, all over it. hepefully _ time. bellingham, all over it. hopefully improve _ time. bellingham, all over it. hopefully improve on - time. bellingham, all over it. hopefully improve on the - time. bellingham, all over it. j hopefully improve on the last time. bellingham, all over it. - hopefully improve on the last one. just to— hopefully improve on the last one. just to be — hopefully improve on the last one. just to be there isjust an hopefully improve on the last one. just to be there is just an amazing experience — just to be there is just an amazing experience anyway. hopefully we get

6:35 pm
orjust before i started to go into the england setup but they were massive on having a dna, a style of play and performing. from what i hear there has been a big change. they benefit because they made academy changes the way they play, the standard in the academy has got much better. you really get to see the real footballers. from to strikers. you can tell there was a big change in the style of play and through that, players were coming out with ridiculous talent. like phil foden, matt gage could play out invoice you can get into the england squad, like morgan and hudson—odoi. he was an under 17 is world cup winner. will this england team become european champions for the
6:36 pm
first time? let's not kid ourselves, spain are the form team. they have won all six matches in a row to get here. that's a euros first and they have also got their teenager lamine yamal, who's turned 17 today, who has been re—writing the record books. joe lynskey takes a closer look at the form team of this championship. their manager luis de la fuente also coached the under—21s. joe lynskey takes a closer look at the form team of this championship. tomorrow night in berlin, one team are heavy favourites, because of goals like this. nice curl. oh, i say, what an unbelievable goal! lamine yamal turned 17 today. he is spain and the euro's
6:37 pm
youngest ever player. their1in1,000,000. so what are the odds of this photo? in 2007, barcelona's players posed with local families. a charity calendar had paired lionel messi with spain's football future. the boy in the bath made his club debut aged 15. yamal was made at la masia, barcelona's great academy, the place that helped this nation to its greatest football era. spain are the european champions of 2008. in a four—year spell, spain won the euros twice and the world cup in between. at euro 2012, they beat italy in kyiv. chance for torres. 3—0 spain. but that's still the last time they reached a major final. 12 years isn't quite five decades of hurt, but spain's new generation has built success on change. i think we got too obsessed with the idea that everything goes
6:38 pm
via the midfielders, and possession is the end of everything, and luis de la fuente has added layers to the side. the use of wingers being more direct, the pressure high that was always there. what these players have is adaptability. they know that there is 10, 15 games that you play in every single match. so winning it? yes. at this point people feel that we've got enough to win it. on the wings for spain are yamal and nico williams. he's 22. they've been called the two ferraris. england now must find a way to put the brakes on a team who've beaten italy, croatia, germany and france. spain know what to expect. yeah, well, england have shown so far that the team that never give up, that's for sure. and we have to be focussed all the game. doesn't matter if we are down or up, we just have to keep our focus. i do see england doing what france did. they scored first. they had three counters.
6:39 pm
that's what england can do — absorb pressure and break them in the counter if they're able to beat pressure. spain have scored the most goals and have the euros break—out player. it makes them favourites for a reason. if they're beaten tomorrow, it may be england's greatest night. it probably would be. gareth southgate saying they have to be perfect tactically which they have not been so far. but they are in the final. more from berlin and hopefully gareth southgate shortly but a big day, finals weekend at wimbledon. as the sun begins to set here, barbora krejcikova, a name we were not expecting at the start of these championships, lifts the venus rose
6:40 pm
water dish. she was playing on the court behind me, there was a close match which krejcikova eat through little did we know we were watching the eventual champion. another czech champion. plenty of italians were going forjasmine paolini, making her the first italian woman in a single spinal and krejcikova's story and emotional one. her coach died in 2017. she said she wanted to do it for her coach in that exact what she did in the end in three sets. the women's final at wimbledon has become predictably unpredictable. serving upper become predictably unpredictable. serving unpe—

6:42 pm
what a moment. we have a british man and a final today, the men's final is happening on centre court as we speak. as a prize finalist because he and his partner put out neal skupski you might be able to hear the cheers, they are trying to get healthy of our and pattern over the line, max purcell and jordon thompson, 80 in the tie—break, six games all in that second set forced that tie—breaker on eight points. trying to stay and alive, he has been living his best life for the past few weeks. can he get himself there? that is happening on centre court at the moment. you might remember watching sports day last year when it was not to be. henry pattern this finalist i can tell you
6:43 pm
is ijust glanced down at my screen, max purcell and jordon thompson both of them aussies have got a match point at the moment. can they get themselves over the line? i will keep you updated. what's happening, alfie hewett facing a huge day tomorrow, the singles final and doubles final with gordon reid. they have won the title five times. that is the one that is missing from alfie's cabinet, eight grand slam singles titles but the wimbledon one is the one missing and it's one he really wants. he has lost the final for the last two years. good news for the last two years. good news for him, the top seed is out of the championship. but tomorrow he has a great chance. he will play the final in the morning and then his doubles final, some disappointing news is that andy lapped on his partner lost the men's wheelchair doubles final in three sets. they lost to the number one seeds. no shame in that
6:44 pm
and it hasjust number one seeds. no shame in that and it has just happened, number one seeds. no shame in that and it hasjust happened, i didn't quite catch that, they had set point, they have levelled things up. henry pattern stands a chance to be at wimbledon champion. i will hand back. thank you very much. back to berlin. the press conference in berlin, plenty of rugby union was happening as well on saturday. wales were in action. england were in new zealand and ireland tour in south africa taking on the world champions and wrapping everything at is nick tarrant. holly lawrence's reaction summed up england's performance at eden park. it is new zealand's fortis, unbeaten since 1994 and yet england were leading with 20 minutes to go thanks to the boot of marcus smith setting up to the boot of marcus smith setting up tries and this one. the all blacks were able to call on
6:45 pm
replacements in the shape of the player of the year. we full—backs teddy bishop and inspired a fightback, setting up mark to later put the hosts back in front. they extended their lead winning 24 points — 17. despite this series defeat, england head coach steve borthwick felt things are improving since he first took charge 18 months ago. since he first took charge 18 months a . o. . since he first took charge 18 months auo. ., , ., ~ since he first took charge 18 months ago. the team is making progress, not ago. the team is making progress, got ourselves _ ago. the team is making progress, got ourselves in _ ago. the team is making progress, got ourselves in positions - ago. the team is making progress, got ourselves in positions to - ago. the team is making progress, got ourselves in positions to win i ago. the team is making progress, got ourselves in positions to win a | got ourselves in positions to win a lot of test matches and not being able to convert, there is plenty to learn for us that we will take away and look closely at. and make sure we are a better team going forward. also disappointment down under for wales. our nine successive international defeat as an australia wrapped up their series in melbourne. warren gatland's side made a sluggish start, 17 points donein made a sluggish start, 17 points done in 25 minutes leaving them far too much work to do. the bright side was the success story of wales's tour getting two tries. with 36
6:46 pm
points the defeat leaves wales won loss away from equalling their worst ever run and slumped to their lowest ranking of 11. this is moment the fans will rememberfor ranking of 11. this is moment the fans will remember for the rest of their lives. ciaran came off the bench and scored two drop goals against south africa including this one. it saw them snatch victory by just a point. and their second test on south african soil. scotland made it to windsor to two with a win over the usa in washington. doing van der merwe equalled stuart hogg's record of 27 scotland tries. ewan ashman claimed a hat—trick and scotland go to south america for matches against uruguay. mixed bag of tricks as far as the rugby union is concerned. we
