De la Fuente said Spain would have to play better than they did against Germany and France if they were to win the title for the fourth time.
"We're not favourites," de la Fuente said at a press conference, "and it's a close matchup, just like the previous knockout rounds." If we don't perform well or make mistakes, we don't have a chance to win. ”
"It's really great to be here and we're very happy to be in the final. We were relaxed and looking forward to the game. ”
He also mentioned that the final will be very complicated against England, and it will be a contest between two of the best teams of the tournament.
"This kind of close game is often the devil in the details. Whichever team makes the least mistakes is the one most likely to win. We have to stick to our attacking style and play to our strengths, otherwise we won't have a chance."
Although Spain were not favourites before the final, they were the best performers at this year's European Championships. They have won all six matches and scored 13 goals.
A win over England would see Spain crowned European champions for the fourth time, overtaking Germany as the most successful team in European Championship history.
