On Sunday, Real Madrid teammates Dani Carvajal and Jude Bellingham will go head-to-head as they aim to lead their respective national teams to glory in the Euro 2024 final. Spain and England have secured their spots in this highly anticipated clash, set to take place at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on July 14th. This thrilling matchup will showcase several stars from LALIGA EA SPORTS, with Carvajal and Bellingham at the forefront.
Carvajal is eager to make his mark in the final after being suspended for the semi-final against France due to a red card received in the quarter-final match against Germany. The Los Blancos right-back has already enjoyed a successful season, having clinched the LALIGA EA SPORTS title, the Champions League, and the Supercopa de España. Now, he is eyeing his fourth trophy of 2024.
In the 2023/24 season, the 32-year-old full-back made 28 league appearances, scoring four goals—the highest tally he has achieved in a single league season with Real Madrid. Additionally, Carvajal played a vital role in the Champions League, featuring in 10 matches and scoring a crucial opener against Borussia Dortmund in the final at Wembley. His outstanding performance earned him the MVP award, boosting his confidence as he prepares for the Euro 2024 final.
Spain’s right-back Dani Carvajal immediately impacted the tournament, scoring one of La Roja’s three goals in their 3-0 triumph over Croatia in the opening match. Under the management of Luis de la Fuente, Spain looked formidable during the group stage, becoming the only team to achieve a perfect record with nine points from three wins. They advanced to the Round of 16, where they staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Georgia 4-1, securing their place in the quarter-finals. Carvajal has started in four of Spain’s six matches so far; he was rested during the 1-0 group-stage victory over Albania and missed the clash against France.
On Sunday, Carvajal will go head-to-head with his Real Madrid teammate Jude Bellingham, who is determined to help England capture their first-ever European Championship title from his position on the left of Gareth Southgate’s midfield. Bellingham made waves in LALIGA EA SPORTS last season, scoring 19 goals in 28 league matches. He concluded his debut campaign in Spain with 23 goals across all competitions. He celebrated winning his first Champions League trophy at just 20 years old. Operating in Carlo Ancelotti’s 4-3-1-2 formation, Bellingham has taken on the role of leader for The Three Lions as they journey through the tournament.
The talented midfielder has been a constant presence for England, starting all six matches. He opened England’s Euro 2024 account with a stunning header in their narrow 1-0 victory over Serbia in the first match. England topped their group despite drawing their last two group games against Denmark and Slovenia. It moved on to the Round of 16. In a tense match against a strong Slovakia team, England found themselves trailing 1-0 deep into stoppage time of the second half. However, Bellingham came to the rescue with a spectacular overhead kick, equalizing and sending the match into extra time. England ultimately triumphed 2-1.
Following that, England triumphed over Switzerland in a penalty shootout, with Bellingham successfully converting his spot-kick. They then mounted a comeback against the Netherlands, securing a 2-1 victory that earned them a place in Sunday’s final. In this highly anticipated match, Bellingham will take the field alongside several familiar faces, including former Real Madrid captain Nacho. Nacho recently parted ways with the club after an impressive 23-year career, during which he claimed 26 trophies, including six Champions League titles. He has been a solid defensive presence for Spain, starting in three of their six matches against Croatia, Germany, and France. Having lifted the 2023 UEFA Nations League trophy, Nacho and Carvajal will aim to lead Spain to their fourth European Championship title. To achieve this, La Roja must effectively contain the exceptional Bellingham, who will be a strong contender for the Ballon d’Or award if England secures the trophy on Sunday night.
