Metro says the countdown to England’s first major football final since 1966 has begun with the Three Lions aiming to be champions of Europe on Sunday.
The European Central Bank has set a new 2% inflation target and said it could tolerate temporary moves beyond that point, in a shift that gives policymakers flexibility to keep interest rates at historic lows for longer, reports the Financial Times.
The Daily Mail writes that on a night of high drama, the Three Lions kept millions on the edge of their seats during the Euro semi-final game against Denmark, with Captain Harry Kane sending them to an historic Wembley final.
The Daily Express tells its readers to “whisper it quietly or shout it from the rooftops… football really could be coming home” as England stormed to their first major tournament final since the World Cup win of 1966.
The Times writes that a “mighty roar bellowed around Wembley stadium” following England’s win against Denmark, with the celebrations cascading out of pubs and bars and along residential streets across the nation.
The i writes that England has reached its first final with a “thrilling win” against Denmark, adding that Raheem Sterling gave his the greatest performance for his country while Captain Harry Kane scored the winning goal from a penalty rebound in extra time.
The Guardian leads with England’s 2-1 win against Denmark in a “tightly-knotted, impossibly close semi-final”.
The Daily Mirror writes that “Harry and his heroes beat the Danes” and will now match the England immortals of the 1966 World Cup.
The Daily Telegraph reports that England made history as they reached their first major final in 55 years, with 60,000 fans in Wembley and tens of millions watching on television erupting in an outpouring of collective hysteria when the final whistle was blown.
