OLLIE WATKINS has warned Euro favourites Spain that England are like the Real Madrid of football.
Harry Kane last week said that while the top teams might not fear Gareth Southgate’s team, there is an “aura” about them that can clearly unnerve the opposition.
And Watkins, hero of the dramatic semi-final win over the Dutch, agrees, saying: “If it was related to club football, you see someone like Real Madrid in a Champions League game, they are comfortable without the ball, they have that confidence that when they get the ball, they are going to score.
“I feel like it is the same here. We are definitely hard to beat, then we just need that one chance and we can win the game.
“It doesn’t matter if we are playing poorly or if players are having an off day, we still have that world-class talent where we can pop up and get that goal.”
