    England is hoping to win its first major trophy since 1966 as the Three Lions take on Spain in the final of Euro 2024 on Sunday.

    England has reached the final for the second consecutive tournament, having fallen short on penalties against Italy in the Euro 2020 final. England will be desperate to go one better and lift the trophy this year, with the squad set to split a bumper pot of prize money if they win.

    Up to $13 million (£10million) will be shared between the squad if they beat Spain, while the Daily Mail reports that several players are set to bank personal bonuses through their individual endorsement deals. England captain Harry Kane, for example, is expected to earn a lucrative bonus from boot sponsors Sketchers if he wins the Golden Boot.

    Kane is currently the tournament's joint top scorer alongside Dani Olmo, Georges Mikautadze, Cody Gakpo, Ivan Schranz and Jamal Musiala.

    Speaking after England's dramatic 2-1 win over the Netherlands in the semi-finals, Kane told ITV : "History made. Amazing achievement. I'm so proud of everyone. Every player, every member of staff, I'm so proud of them.

    "To do what we've done away from home is really special. There's that feeling there's one more left and we need to do that on Sunday." He has also declared himself fit for the final after taking a knock to his foot during the semi-final and is "excited" for the clash against Spain.

    "There's one more game to make history," he added. "That's what we're excited about. It's been a tough journey but there's one more. 90 minutes, 120, penalties, whatever it takes we'll be there. I'm looking forward to it."

    Manager Gareth Southgate, meanwhile, told BBC Sport : "There's a different feel [than Euro 2020]. We're now in a different moment as a team, two tournaments on and a lot more big match experience. I guess there was less of a celebration, perhaps less satisfaction at reaching a final.

    "I wouldn't say it becomes run of the mill but it's a little bit more normal for us. That statement in itself is probably a bit ridiculous given our history. What we do know is that in the end, how we'll be viewed by others will be determined by the result on Sunday."
