Statements ahead of his grand final Euro 2024 of England with Spain (14/07, 22:00) granted by Declan Rice.

The central midfielder of the “three lions” said that everyone in the team is desperate to win and bring happiness to the world of the country, while he conveyed his feelings from the previous final lost to Italy at Euro 2020.

Seeing Italy lift that trophy will haunt me forever. We are now presented with another opportunity where we can write our own history.

It’s a game we think we can win, so it’s set to be a great final. There is one more at our feet to give absolutely everything for the kids, for the fans and for this coach. We are so desperate to do this and bring some happiness to the country.

We now know what to do, compared to last time, in terms of controlling the game. Not to sit back, as we did in previous tournaments and when Italy came at us. We know how we can win this final, which I think is a positive“, he initially said and continued:

I know the final will be a very tough game and I hope someone else can make history in the books. We’re back-to-back (in finals), so hopefully now we can do it. Not only for each other, but also for the coach. I think it deserves it».
