Millions of fans had packed into bars and pubs in hope of seeing England finally claim their first victory since the World Cup of 1966.

And super sub Cole Palmer had given the nation belief when he struck a brilliant equaliser in the 73rd-minute, after his team had gone behind at the start of the second half.

It sent boozers into wild celebrations, with beers launched into the air as fans sung ‘it’s coming come’ – while in Berlin’s Olympiastadion, Prince William and his son, Prince George, punched the air in delight.

But the hopes and expectations of a nation came crashing down minutes later when Spain’s Mikel Oyarzabal slotted the winning goal past Jordan Pickford in the 86th-minute.

Other stars took to social media to share their frustration and heartache after England missed out on glory once again.

Mark Wright took to Instagram to congratulate the Three Lions despite their devastating loss.

He captioned his post: ‘@heiniken & poncho softened the blow. We will keep dreaming. Our boys did us proud.’

The national team face Spain in the final of Euro 2024 on Sunday night following a tumultuous tournament, and Southgate said: ‘I don’t believe in fairytales but I am a believer in dreams and we have big dreams but you have to make those things happen .

‘The run we have had, late goals, penalties but that doesn’t equate to us making it happen. We have to perform.

‘When you try to create dreams you need a vision to go with that. That lights a small fire. We know what it would mean (to win).’

The England men’s side haven’t won a major trophy since World Cup 1966, and Southgate added: ‘We have to get this trophy to get the respect of the rest of the football world.

‘I travelled to World Cups and European Championships watching as an observer (before becoming England manager) and on the highlights on the big screens before games we weren’t in them. They only showed the finals and the big games.

Gareth Southgate gave an emotional message to his England players ahead of Sunday's final

The messages of support come as Gareth delivered an emotional message to his England heroes ahead of their date with destiny: ‘Go and fulfil your dreams.’.

Gareth Southgate gives updates about player’s fitness ahead of finals
‘We had high expectations but they didn’t match where we were performance-wise. We have now.

‘Tomorrow, I don’t have any fear of what might happen because I’ve been through everything. I want my players to feel that fearlessness… If we’re not afraid to lose, it gives us a better chance of winning.’

The Three are competing in their second consecutive final in the European Championship after heartbreak against Italy at Wembley in 2021.

The team lost on penalties on home turf, and that night has lived long in the memory of those involved.

‘I think it shows unbelievable consistency, first and foremost,’ captain Harry Kane said on Saturday night. ‘A lot of us after that final, we were obviously heartbroken with the result, as always a long journey back to getting where we are now.

‘Full credit to the boys for the resilience that we’ve shown. It speaks volumes for the mentality of the squad, extremely happy to be in this situation and to be back in a European final. Of course we are really desperate to go one step further than we did last time.’

England go into the game as underdogs, with Spain winning all six of their matches so far, with the Three Lions playing out four draws in 90 minutes.

That hasn’t bothered Southgate, however, who is happy that his planning has so far paid off.

He added: ‘We haven’t had too much time on the training pitch but we’ve had several meetings trying to assess the opponent, work out the best way to play against them.

‘But our messages haven’t really changed throughout the six or seven weeks we’ve been together – we’ve had a long-term vision and we’ve always broken that down into smaller pieces.’
