On Tuesday, La Roja also came from behind to win 2-1 and reach their first major international final since winning Euro 2012.

England now Spain in Sunday’s final and play for the Henri Delaunay Cup – the Euro 2024 trophy.

But what will happen to France and the Netherlands after their defeats?

Is there a third-place play-off at Euro 2024?

The World Cup has a third-place play-off match, usually played before the final.

At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Croatia beat Morocco to earn third-place.

And Gareth Southgate’s England have also played in a third-place game in recent memory, losing 2-0 to Belgium at the 2018 World Cup.

However, despite what your memory may be telling you, there are NO third-place play-offs at the European Championships.

This isn’t a new development – there have not been any third-place matches at the Euros since 1980.

That game was a 9-8 win on penalties for Czechoslovakia after they drew 1-1 with hosts Italy.

There have been 10 Euros since without a third-placed play-off.
