Manchester City players Kyle Walker, John Stones, and Phil Foden are set to face Spain in the final of Euro 2024 after England defeated the Netherlands in the semi-finals. While the City trio will have the opportunity to add another trophy to their cabinets, Netherlands defender Nathan Ake saw his hopes of a European Championship come to an end. Ake received sympathy from Dutch legend Ronald de Boer, who suggested that he was let down by his teammates during the game against England.
