Harry Kane says now is the time for this England generation to ‘get over the line’ and banish the heartbreak of Wembley once and for all.
The Three Lions skipper admitted this European Championship campaign had been fuelled by the pain of losing on penalties to Italy on home soil at Euro 2020.
Despite some low-key performances earlier in the tournament, Kane will lead his side out in the final against Spain in Berlin’s Olympiastadion on Sunday night.
Ready to give it absolutely everything

Speaking at a media conference in the stadium on the eve of the showpiece, Kane claimed: “I think it shows unbelievable consistency to reach another Euros final.
“A lot of us after (Wembley) were obviously heartbroken – as always a long journey back to getting where we are now. Full credit to the boys for the resilience they have shown.
“We are extremely happy to be in this situation and desperate to go one step further than we did last time.”
The 30-year-old will win his 98th cap and will be seeking to add to his 66 international goals to help England to glory, but also to land himself the Golden Boot, the race for which he is currently leading along with Spain’s Dani Olmo with three goals at the tournament.
“It would mean everything to win the euros. It would be the most incredible feeling as a professional footballer. Also for the fans to have this moment in history would be something very special.
“It was a tough finish last time, so there’s extra hunger and fire in the belly to make sure this one goes our way, but we also know it’s going to be an extremely tough night.”
Harry Kane has said he would swap all of his personal accolades for England to win the European Championship
