Harry Kane said leading England to win Euro 2024 on Sunday would be the most incredible feeling a footballer can have as he aims to end his own long wait to win a trophy.
The England captain has scored 406 goals for his clubs and country in a decorated career without winning any collective silverware.
All that could change in Berlin on Sunday should Kane guide England to a first major tournament win in 58 years to become European champions for the first time.
Kane was on the losing side three years ago as England missed out on the Euros to Italy on penalties at Wembley.
Now into their first-ever final on foreign soil, the Bayern Munich striker said England would be fuelled by the pain of defeat at Euro 2020.
The two finalists have arrived in Berlin in contrasting fashion.
Spain have looked a class apart in Germany, eliminating the hosts and France, as well as beating Italy and Croatia to become the first side to win all of their first six games at a Euros.
England, on the other hand, have had to battle back in all three of the knockout rounds against Slovakia, Switzerland and the Netherlands without ever delivering on the full potential of a richly-talented squad.
Kane, though, said Englands resilience to win, thanks to late goals and a penalty shoot-out against the Swiss in the quarter-finals, had fostered greater belief their time has come.
