Crystal Palacestar reveals what he’ll do with his Euro 2024 winner’s medal if England win

Marc Guehi has disclosed that he will not be holding onto his winner’s medal if England beat Spain to win EURO 2024 in Sunday’s final. The Three Lions are on the verge of making history with the opportunity of lifting a first major honour since 1966 when the two European giants meet in Berlin.

However, the Crystal Palace defender – who has shone as one of the standout performers this summer – has revealed he will be doing something different with his medal should England bring football home with them.

Except for a suspension, which ruled him out of the quarter-final tie against Switzerland, Guehi has played every minute under Southgate at EURO 2024. Lining up alongside John Stones in a back-four, and later alongside Stones and Kyle Walker in a back-three against the Netherlands, England’s area of strength has been in defence.

“For me, it’s more about the memories you can pass and share. That’s the most important thing, to be honest. I’m just enjoying the ride. I do get nervous, but it’s a feeling you just try to use to help you.”

At the start of the tournament, England fans doubted the Three Lions’ chances of going all the way, with a subpar group stage bringing about major concerns that their most successful period under Southgate would come to an anti-climactic end – without any silverware to show for their efforts.

Yet, here they are, with potentially just ninety minutes standing between them and an uncharted European summit. After victories against Slovakia, Switzerland, and the Netherlands en route to the Berlin final, the Three Lions have shown undoubted resilience to overcome any obstacle. The penalty curse looks dispelled, while a nation full of pessimists have been turned into pious believers that football will come home 58 years after the first time.

Spain will be the biggest test yet, however, as they needed to navigate the more difficult side of the bracket. Triumphs against France and Germany tell just half the story of a side that defends like a well-oiled machine – having conceded just three goals up until this point – and attacks with relentless, free-flowing pace. Lamine Yamal is the 17-year-old star, but by having the likes of Dani Olmo, Rodri, and a revitalised Marc Cucurella join him, England will not be afforded a moment’s rest.
