Former Manchester City player Micah Richards has stated that Arsenal midfielder Bukayo Saka is crucial for England in the upcoming EURO 2024 final against Spain, scheduled for Sunday at the Olympiastadion Berlin.

Speaking on 'The Rest is Football' podcast, Richards highlighted Saka's resilience and consistent performance. 'Saka has shown incredible resilience to come back after missing that penalty. While players like Bellingham have exciting potential, Saka is the one we can rely on for consistent performance,' Richards said, as quoted by Goal.com.

Spain secured their place in the final by defeating France 2-1, while England triumphed over the Netherlands 2-1, thanks to Ollie Watkins' late goal. This marks the first time England will contest a final of a major tournament on foreign soil, bringing them closer to ending a 58-year title drought.
