How Euro 2024 final is dividing family loyalties

Overseas, England fans who live in Gibraltar, off Spain’s south coast, said there was “great atmosphere” in the British territory ahead of the match.

Michelle Tavares, who is originally from Aldridge in Walsall, said she did her “big monthly food shop” in Spain and also travelled there to visit her mum.

“Gibraltar is tiny… so we rely quite a lot on Spain,” she explained, adding “The Rock is absolutely buzzing” about the final.

“Everybody’s getting in the mood and excited, the anticipation is building, we’re all behind England obviously, [it] goes without saying,” she told BBC Radio WM.

“We’ve got close ties with Spain, were just next door, but you know The Rock is behind England for Sunday.”

People on both sides of the border “got on really well” she said, and there would be a “bit of friendly rivalry”.
