"It's time for change, and for a new chapter. Sunday's final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager," he said in statement.

"The Copa America is over and the first thing I want to thank everyone for the messages and greetings," Messi said on Instagram, one day after injuring his right ankle in the Copa final against Colombia in Miami.

"The long-dreaded moment has arrived: the moment of saying goodbye to the French national team," Giroud wrote on Instagram.

With an expected attendance of 85,000, the stadium will be packed to the rafters for Mbappe's first appearance before fans in what should beat the record set 15 years ago by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Yamal started for Spain in the final a day after celebrating his 17th birthday and became the youngest player ever to play in a major international final, breaking a record Pele had set way back in the 1958 World Cup final.

"After 131 national team games and 45 goals, I am saying goodbye," Mueller said in a video statement announcing his decision.

Spain deserved to win Sunday's showpiece match - England coming alive only after falling behind - but the jury remains out on Southgate.

This was Messi’s fourth straight international title, having won the Copa America in 2021, the Finalissima in 2022 and the FIFA World Cup in 2022 before defending the Copa title this year in the USA.

"I don't know if it marks an era, but it's true this team never ceases to surprise, they overcame the difficulties of a very difficult match, with a very complicated opponent and without a good first half," Scaloni said.

"I can say with great confidence this will be an incredibly safe tournament."

Time is ticking until the heavily anticipated finals for the Euro 2024 tournament arrives! In such exciting times, it sounds like a wonderful opportunity to step outside with friends and family and have a great day out, as well as watch some electrifying football.

"We've had our players head-butted, we've had racial slurs thrown at our players live and through social media... We've been treated like second-class citizens."

"We've had to show unbelievable character, resilience, physical strength, mental strength -- we've shown it all but there is still one more to go," said Kane.

"Maybe it's not the same as it was in the past, but we do have the capability to spark emotions and make lots of French men and women happy with our results, especially after a difficult period in our country. If you are bored, watch another game -- you don't have to watch us, it's fine."

"At any time he can score a goal and make that difference. He's a very important player, he's our captain," Shaw said.

“The caption was simply intended as a play on words, which we have done many times before on Match Of The Day analysis graphics. There was no offence intended toward Cristiano Ronaldo,” the statement read.

Gakpo has shrugged off an indifferent season at club level to shine once more for his country on the biggest stage of a major international tournament.
