Ed Sheeran, Kate Beckinsale and Amanda Holden cheer England on as they lead the stars supporting England in the Euro final on Sunday

Ed Sheeran, Kate Beckinsale and Amanda Holden chant “It’s coming home” as they lead stars supporting England in the Euro 2019 final on Sunday.

England come into the game as underdogs, with Spain winning all six of their games so far and the Three Lions managing four draws in 90 minutes.

Ed, who was seen in the stands during the semi-final, said: “Everything is coming together at the right time.”

Kate, wearing an England football shirt, recited a reimagined Lord’s Prayer, saying: “Give us this day our joyous victory and forgive us for criticising your tactics.”

Amanda, wearing a large red and white hat, shouted: “Go England!”

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.”

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

“The run we’ve had, the late goals, the penalties, but that doesn’t allow us to achieve it. We have to perform at our best.”

“When you try to create dreams, you need a vision to go with them. That lights a little flame. We know what it would mean (to win).”

England’s men’s team have not won a major trophy since the 1966 World Cup and Southgate added: “We have to get this trophy to earn the respect of the rest of the football world.

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

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

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.”

“We had high expectations, but they didn’t match our performance. Now they do.”

“I’m not afraid of what might happen tomorrow because I’ve been through everything. I want my players to feel that courage… If we’re not afraid of losing, we’ll have a better chance of winning.”

All three are contesting their second consecutive Euro final after the disappointment against Italy at Wembley in 2021.

The team lost on penalties at home, and that night remains etched in the memories of those involved.

“I think it shows incredible consistency, first and foremost,” captain Harry Kane said on Saturday night. “A lot of us, after that final, were obviously heartbroken about the result, as always, a long road back to get to where we are now.”

“All credit goes to the lads for the resilience we have shown. That says a lot about the mentality of the team, which is very happy to be in this situation and to be playing in a European final again. Of course, we are really desperate to go one step further than last time.”

England come into the game as underdogs, with Spain winning all six of their games so far and the Three Lions managing four draws in 90 minutes.

However, this has not worried Southgate, who is happy that his planning so far has paid off.

He added: “We haven’t had a lot of time on the training ground, but we’ve had a number of meetings trying to assess the opponent and determine the best way to play against them.

“But our messaging hasn’t really changed over the six or seven weeks we’ve been together: We’ve had a long-term vision and we’ve always broken it down into smaller pieces.”
