Comments:

After their 1988 success in Germany, Netherlands failed in their attempt to reach their second UEFA European Championship Final having lost four of their five previous Semi-final appearances; most recently in Euro 2004. . The Oranje scored ten goals at Euro 2024; only hosts Germany and finalists Spain had now scored more (11 each). . Aged 21 years and 80 days, Xavi Simons had now become the youngest-ever player to score for Netherlands in the knockout stages at a UEFA European Championship tournament.

Comments:

Playing in their unprecedented third Semi-final in the last four major tournaments, England had now become the fourth nation to reach consecutive UEFA European Championship Finals; most recently Spain in 2008 and 2012. . The Three Lions had now reached the Final of a major tournament played outside of England for the first time. Their two previous Final appearances had been played at Wembley Stadium (FIFA World Cup in 1966 and Euro 2020). . With his ninth goal, Harry Kane had now scored more goals than any other European player in the knockout stages of major tournaments. . England were awarded a penalty in the 16th minute following a VAR review for a foul.
