The thing that really leaps out at me, having done this since Euro 2012 is how much more interconnected the final two teams are.
In 2012, only one club team, Manchester City, would have had someone on the winning team no matter what.
In 2024, four teams can say that, Manchester City again, along with Real Madrid, Chelsea and Arsenal.
Chelsea are the club team closest to the centre.
Five club teams share the position of "most players left in", Real Madrid, Arsenal, Barcelona, Manchester City and Crystal Palace all have 4 players left in. Crystal Palace is the one that surprises me the most and suggests they have a much better academy system than I suspected.
As England have got to the final with me not watching, I will continue not to watch lest I am a jinx. It's an odd situation where I have no preferred team, although both teams have a couple of players I really like.
