TENS of thousands of England fans were today heading to Berlin ready to roar on the Three Lions in Sunday’s Euro’s final showdown with Spain.

They are travelling to the German capital by road, rail and air to back their team buoyed by the increasing belief England can make history and win the tournament.

But they face rocketing costs for accommodation and soaring airfares with most flights already sold out.

Supporters who do not already have a ticket are unlikely to be able to get one, with the game sold out on Uefa’s website and only a limited number of tickets available to England Supporters Travel Club members who have been to previous England games.

Tom Concannon, of the Football Supporters’ Association, said he expected fans to travel in large numbers despite the difficulties.
