dreams. and we have had big dreams, we felt the need and the importance of that. but then you have to make those things happen. fate, the run that we've had, the late goals, the penalties, that doesn't equate to us, it being our moment, we have to make it happen tomorrow. we have to port —— perform at the level we need to perform. 0f port —— perform at the level we need to perform. of course, it would be a lovely story. but it is in our hands and hour performance that is the most important thing.— and hour performance that is the most important thing. captain harry kane was asked _ most important thing. captain harry kane was asked what _ most important thing. captain harry kane was asked what he _ most important thing. captain harry kane was asked what he made - most important thing. captain harry kane was asked what he made of. most important thing. captain harry| kane was asked what he made of the spanish side who have proved to be the best side throughout the tournament so far.— the best side throughout the tournament so far. ,, ,., . . . tournament so far. spain have had a fantastic tournament. _ tournament so far. spain have had a fantastic tournament. so _ tournament so far. spain have had a fantastic tournament. so they - fantastic tournament. so they probably— fantastic tournament. so they probably have been the best team consistency ways throughout the tournament. so they probably earned that right _ tournament. so they probably earned that right. as we know, football in one game, — that right. as we know, football in one game, anything can happen. we

8:04 pm
will be able to watch that game together. people here are excited. they are hopeful as well. spain has had a tough competition, but in a good way, people praising their football. they got rid of italy, france, germany. so they say, england is next, we can make it happen. studio: maybe they are pinning their hopes on their teenage superstar lamine yamal, who is celebrating his 17th birthday to gay, he is quite an amazing footballer for his age. yes. amazing footballer for his age. yes, definitel . amazing footballer for his age. yes, definitely. many _ amazing footballer for his age. yes, definitely. many here _ amazing footballer for his age. 1&1: definitely. many here in barcelona are already familiar with him —— birthday today. he has had a successful season. birthday today. he has had a successfulseason. but birthday today. he has had a successful season. but for many, he was the first, it was the first time they saw him this week when he scored that amazing goal against france. so he's kind of like the icon of the team right now. and today, turning 17. he is making
8:05 pm
headlines with that. a lot of newspapers today showing pictures of lamine yamal from when he was a kid here alongside another football star lionel messi. he is the one everyone is talking about. everyone is hoping he will do a good performance tomorrow. and everyone likes a story, being very young and coming from a poor background, a poor neighbourhood. outside barcelona. so he is kind of like the icon of this cup. here in barcelona and across spain and i would say even across europe right now. fiur spain and i would say even across europe right now.— europe right now. our reporter in barcelona- _ europe right now. our reporter in barcelona. so _ europe right now. our reporter in barcelona. so let's _ europe right now. our reporter in barcelona. so let's take - europe right now. our reporter in barcelona. so let's take a - europe right now. our reporter in barcelona. so let's take a look i europe right now. our reporter in i barcelona. so let's take a look back at how england are at the moment. olly foster is in berlin. we also have a report in benidorm and harry lowe is on an epic road trip across europe. we will talk to all three about the different elements of england. let's start in berlin.
8:06 pm
ollie was listening to that news conference with gareth southgate and harry kane. gareth southgate says that we know what it means to everybody. but i was taken how relaxed both seemed.— everybody. but i was taken how relaxed both seemed. yes, they have -la ed so relaxed both seemed. yes, they have played so many _ relaxed both seemed. yes, they have played so many get — relaxed both seemed. yes, they have played so many get out _ relaxed both seemed. yes, they have played so many get out of _ relaxed both seemed. yes, they have played so many get out of jail - relaxed both seemed. yes, they have played so many get out of jail free - played so many get out ofjail free cards, so i think they should be relaxed. they have really pushed their luck to get this far, make no bones about it. spain will be considering themselves favourites, scoring more goals than any other side in the tournament in what has been a fairly low scoring tournament. they have got lamine yamal, the wonder kid you have been talking about. happy birthday to him today. just 17. they have won six games in a row, no other side in euros history has done that. but then we have england, who looked very, very ordinary in the group stage and it didn't seem so long ago that gareth southgate, relaxed as he is now, was talking about how much
8:07 pm
it hurt the very personal criticism. you remember at the end of the group stage when they could only draw with slovenia, he was pelted with beer cups from the stands and given absolute abuse. then they pushed their luck. they were five minutes from into injury time and going out before that overhead kick from jude bellingham forcing extra time in the last 16. and then it was penalties against the swiss in the quarterfinals. perfect penalties as they were, they are always a lottery. then they finally raised the bar, it was a pretty low bar to begin with, in the semifinal against the dutch. but again, it needed a winning goal in the final seconds. so as much as the spanish have got the form, they have got the flare. they look absolutely terrific. england have got look on their side. so if gareth southgate has got look on his side, of course he will be feeling relaxed. he has somehow managed to get this team into
8:08 pm
another european championship final, back—to—back finals now. so who knows, perhaps they feel theyjust have this charmed life at this euros, which is why the spanish will be cautious. i euros, which is why the spanish will be caution-— be cautious. i suppose the question now turns to. _ be cautious. i suppose the question now turns to, what _ be cautious. i suppose the question now turns to, what is _ be cautious. i suppose the question now turns to, what is gareth - now turns to, what is gareth southgate's starting line—up going to be and what formation does he play? to be and what formation does he .la 7 , ., , to be and what formation does he -la 7 , ., , ., ., , to be and what formation does he play? remember, it was two games ago that he completely _ play? remember, it was two games ago that he completely changed _ play? remember, it was two games ago that he completely changed the - that he completely changed the formation from a back four to about three and he played with wingbacks, and we expect them to be unchanged from the semifinal. i think the one question was over he was going to start at the left wingback role and it was kieran trippier the man in possession, even though he changed with luke shaw at half—time. but i think they will go with the same 11 that started against the dutch in that started against the dutch in that semifinal, even though they left it very, very late with that ollie watkins winner. luke shaw perhaps coming off the bench and
8:09 pm
giving them more balance in the second half might work. but of course, it is how spain do in that first half as well and they have just been hitting the ground running. they started their campaign a month ago here in berlin against croatia. they won 3—0 and everybody sat up and said, hang on, we have some new favourites for this tournament and so it has proved. they have been playing the best football. we will see what luis de la fuente the spanish manager does, but we expect him to make changes to his backline, with dani carvajal and le normand coming back into the starting line—up, they were suspended for their semifinal. gareth southgate says they have to be tactically perfect to be the spanish. they raised the bar in their spanish final, i think they will have to raise it again if spain play as we know they have done for the past month. find play as we know they have done for the past month.— the past month. and what is the atmosphere _ the past month. and what is the atmosphere like _ the past month. and what is the atmosphere like in _ the past month. and what is the

atmosphere like in berlin? - the past month. and what is the atmosphere like in berlin? it. the past month. and what is the| atmosphere like in berlin? it has been terrific. building and building and building. we knew this would be big, not too far for the england fans to come. there have been some pretty wild road trips to get here. because of the enormity of this match, so many fans without tickets just want to be in berlin to enjoy the party atmosphere, they hope. a celebratory one for them at full—time tomorrow. and in 24 hours' time, we will be ten minutes into the european championship final. there is a huge fan zone that can house thousands behind brandenburg gate. that is a meeting point, focal point. there will be tens of thousands there and we will be there tomorrow and bbc news, giving you all the build—up. i spoke to the chief of uk policing in the german capital in the last couple of hours, chief constable mark roberts. a few days ago, he said, maybe 20 35,000
8:11 pm
was what they were expecting. but looking at these carjourneys and the extra flights, he thinks it could be close to 50,000. that is going to challenge them in a different way because the other cities england have played in, they have had supporters in vast numbers, but they have been fairly small and contained. they know where the fans have been heading. but berlin is a much bigger place. b, have been heading. but berlin is a much bigger place.— have been heading. but berlin is a much bigger place. a few very minor flash oints much bigger place. a few very minor flashpoints over _ much bigger place. a few very minor flashpoints over the _ much bigger place. a few very minor flashpoints over the last _ much bigger place. a few very minor flashpoints over the last 24 - much bigger place. a few very minor flashpoints over the last 24 hours. . flashpoints over the last 24 hours. nothing serious, nothing the german police have been getting too worried about. but british police and of course, german police, they have upped their numbers for this final tomorrow evening here in berlin. and everybody is keeping fingers crossed thatjust everybody is keeping fingers crossed that just as everybody is keeping fingers crossed thatjust as it has been passing peacefully and very good—natured over the past day or so, they hope that continues and they hope everybody enjoys the match no matter what the result.— what the result. indeed, you mentioned — what the result. indeed, you mentioned road _ what the result. indeed, you mentioned road trips, - what the result. indeed, you mentioned road trips, let's l what the result. indeed, you - mentioned road trips, let's head to harry lowe who is on an epic road

in the north sea stays put and feeds in these northerly winds with further outbreaks of rain at times affecting eastern areas of both scotland and england. temperatures for the most part staying into double figures. and for sunday, i think overall with that area of low pressure, continuing to feed in the cloud across the eastern side of the country and we will see damp weather to start the day here. probably quite a lot of cloud elsewhere, but there will be some sunny spells for western scotland and the southern half of both england and is. weather sunshine comes out, temperatures push into the low 20s and it will feel quite nice. for eastern areas of scotland and eastern england and round the north sea coast, temperatures are still very disappointing for this time of year. and heading through monday and tuesday, the next area of low pressure is slowly tracking across the uk from the atlantic. on monday, the uk from the atlantic. on monday, the rain really is limited to the south west, so parts of wales and south west, so parts of wales and south west, so parts of wales and south west england could have heavy rain. maybe thunderstorms mixed in, may be localised surface water flooding. but away from that, a fair

amount of dry weather and temperatures a bit higher than they have been over recent days. up to 21 in glasgow, central and eastern england quite widely seen temperatures into the low 20s. make the most of that relatively dry day because as low pressure works into the north sea on tuesday, the heaviest rain across the eastern side of the uk. the driest through the afternoon will move into northern ireland and wales. in south west england. high teens to the low 20s. quite close really to thejuly average for quite a few places. beyond that, stays quite unsettled across the north west of the uk. further south, high pressure might give a run of 3 or [i further south, high pressure might give a run of 3 or 1! days of dry and relatively pleasant weather before conditions return.
