Bhaichung Bhutia Predicts Spain to Win Euro Cup Final

Former Indian football captain Bhaichung Bhutia has predicted a Spanish victory in the Euro Cup final against England on Sunday. Bhutia believes that Spain's balanced team and the brilliance of young stars Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams will prove too much for England.

"Spain definitely has the upper hand in the final," Bhutia said. "They've been playing exceptionally well, with six wins out of six. They're technically sound and in great form."

Bhutia singled out Yamal, a 17-year-old winger, as a player to watch. "He's a superstar in the making," Bhutia said. "He's got assists, he's got goals, and he knows when to release the ball and when to dribble past defenders. He's a player who makes the right decisions, and that's a rare quality for someone so young."

Bhutia also praised Williams, another young Spanish winger. "He's got pace and can be a major factor in game-changing moments," Bhutia said. "If he can get his judgment right, he's going to be a huge problem for England."

While Bhutia acknowledges England's quality, he believes their defensive formation under manager Gareth Southgate will hinder their chances. "I've never been a fan of Southgate's defensive approach," Bhutia said. "They have quality players who should be playing free-flowing, attacking football like Spain."

However, Bhutia still believes England captain Harry Kane is a threat. "He's a natural goal scorer," Bhutia said. "He's scored goals in the Premier League, Bundesliga, and for Bayern Munich. He's one of the best goal scorers in this generation. If you have to bet on anyone to score goals, it's Harry Kane."
