England have not been very impressive so far in their Euro 2024 journey despite making it to the final, and against the Netherlands in the semi-final they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ronald-koeman-england-controversial-penalty-netherlands-euro-2024/blte706c859d25903b5" target="_blank">benefitted from a questionable refereeing decision</a> to earn a penalty. And German media outlet BILD has accused the Three Lions of 'cheating' their way to the final in the build-up to Sunday's game against Spain.

WHAT HAPPENED?

As per the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13627771/Now-Germans-bitter-England-Euros-hosts-press-say-Three-Lions-cheated-way-final-Dutch-turn-players.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>, their segment read: "Only two days left until the 17th European Championship final between Spain and England will take place in Berlin's Olympic Stadium."The signs on Sunday are clear: While the British cheated their way into the final, the Spanish impressed throughout the entire tournament."They are the clear favorites and are keen to win their fourth European Championship trophy in history."An exciting statistic does not exactly make England, who are in the Euro final for the second time in a row and want to finally win a title again after the 1966 World Cup, any more confident."

WHAT BILD WROTE

England were indeed very lucky to get a penalty to equalise against the Netherlands following Xavi Simons' opener. Harry Kane's foot collided with Denzel Dumfries' following a tame shot and referee Felix Zwayer gave the spot kick to the Three Lions, before Ollie Watkins' goal in second half injury time secured their place in the final.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Three Lions will take on the in-form Spain on Sunday, July 12 in Berlin at the Olympiastadion as they aim to win their first title since the 1966 World Cup.
