Euro 2024: Big Moment – Arteta Hints at Team That Could Win Trophy |
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes England's momentum at Euro 2024 may have shifted positively following their dramatic 2-1 victory over Slovakia in the last 16.
The Three Lions were on the brink of elimination, trailing 1-0 late in the game.
However, Jude Bellingham's spectacular overhead kick just before full-time equalized the match, and Harry Kane secured the win in extra time.
England is now set to face Switzerland in their quarter-final match in Dusseldorf on Sunday.
Speaking to ESPN, Arteta said: “You never know. I think the Euros truly began on Sunday, and we have to see how it unfolds. But in terms of momentum, Bellingham’s goal was a pivotal moment for England. A very significant moment.
“I believe this will bring everyone together. When you’re almost out, it changes the context and perspective. Everyone wants to stay in the competition; that’s the reality, so let’s see what happens.”
