Arsenal star Declan Rice says England's men will draw inspiration from Lionesses' 2022 triumph in Euro 2024 final against Spain

Sarina Wiegman's troops broke a 56-year drought for major titles, dating back to the men's 1966 World Cup win, with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/england-germany-womens-euro-2022-final/blt9a1bbefa385e65e0" target="_blank">thrilling victory over Germany in 2022 at a packed-out Wembley Stadium. </a>Two years later, Gareth Southgate's men find themselves in their first major final on foreign soil and they remain determined to replicate the success of their female counterparts in Berlin.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Arsenal star Rice, reflecting on the Lionesses' achievement, emphasised the desire within the team to make the nation proud."We saw when the women's team won it, what it meant to them and the nation," he told reporters."I see some of the girls at Arsenal and that's what we want. We want to win and make the nation proud. We are back in another final, which is history itself, but now we are aiming to do one more."We don't want to keep talking about it and getting to finals and be happy with that. We now want to be a country where we win. We want to continue to grow and, for the young players coming in, we want to be a really big force."

WHAT RICE SAID

England are in their second successive European Championship final after they lost out to Italy a few years back at Wembley. Rice was part of that squad and now the 25-year-old is determined <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ollie-watkins-england-real-madrid-comparison-three-lions-final-spain-jude-bellingham-ballon-dor-win/bltf24c8d904220ca29" target="_blank">more than ever to set the record straight against Spain on Sunday.</a>"Seeing Italy walk up to lift the trophy at your home stadium lives with you as a football player," added Rice."We know that in the last final we probably just sat off and didn't attack as much as we should have. There are not many times you go back-to-back in finals but this group of players are so hungry."We know it's going to be tough and know you can't overlook Spain, who have been a top nation for so many years. But I've never seen a group so motivated, in training, and how we talk with each other around the place. Everyone is so driven to win this game."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Defender Kyle Walker echoed Rice's sentiments, noting that England's previous experience in finals would serve them well and that playing away from home might reduce some of the pressure. "The emotion of Wembley was completely different, with miles and miles of people chanting you and cheering you on as you leave St George's Park," Walker told BBC Radio 5 Live. "We're on a different turf now and maybe that might work to our benefit, where there's not so much pressure on us. But as people and players, who have experienced these finals before, we have to deliver on the big occasions."

DID YOU KNOW?

England are eager to make history, drawing on past lessons and the support of a nation that has witnessed both the highs and lows of football. However, they need to put their best foot forward <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/england-vs-spain-head-to-head-record/blte975e89206d79143" target="_blank">against Spain who have arguably been the best nation in the Euros</a> so far with dominant displays in each of their six previous outings.
