Rio Ferdinand remains confident England will win Euro 2020 after watching Italy and Spain battle it out for a place in the final.
Italy booked their place in Sunday’s final after seeing off Spain in an enthralling clash at Wembley that went all the way to penalties.
Chelsea midfielder Jorginho scored the decisive spot-kick, sending Unai Simon the wrong way with Italy now seeking their second European Championship triumph.
The European heavyweights served up a classic but former England and Manchester United defender Ferdinand didn’t see anything that made him change his mind over who will win the tournament.

But Ferdinand remains confident the Three Lions will end their wait for silverware this summer.
‘It doesn’t matter who has gone through here because I believe England can beat both these sides,’ Ferdinand told BBC Sport post-match.
‘I just feel no one can compete with us right now. The confidence we’ve got… people might say I’m getting carried away but I don’t care.
‘From what I’ve seen, England are the better team, the best team and they beat both of these teams [Italy and Spain].’
