England will play in their first major final in 55 years on Sunday night as they face Italy at Wembley (8pm).
Gareth Southgate's side earned their spot in the final after beating Denmark 2-1 on Wednesday, Harry Kane slotting home the rebound after his initial penalty effort was saved by Kasper Schmeichel to seal the victory in extra time.
Denmark had taken an early lead after Mikkel Damsgaard's free-kick evaded keeper Jordan Pickford, but England were quick to respond and the score was level at half time after Simon Kjaer turned a Bukayo Saka cross into his own net.
England have played all but one of their Euro 2020 fixtures at Wembley and the iconic stadium hosted both semi-final matches between Spain and Italy and then England and Denmark.
The Three Lions are making history, and the celebrations at Wembley were echoed around the country after Wednesday night's triumph. The nation will be hoping for similar scenes at full time on Sunday.
With 40,000 present for England's 2-0 win over Germany in the round of 16, Wembley's capacity has increased as the tournament has progressed, and 60,000 were able to witness England's win over Denmark first hand – and that's set to be the case against Italy.
There had been hope that capacity would increase to 90,000 for Sunday's showdown, but the government confirmed there was no intention to extend numbers as Covid-19 cases continue to rise across the country.

The atmosphere and noise under Wembley's arch was electric as England lined up against the Danes earlier this week, 60,000 felt like 90,000 and it's no surprise the final is sold out with tickets being listed on resale websites for upwards of £20,000.
