Arsenal star Declan Rice insists England have 'no excuses' for tournament failure as he sends out Euro 2024 battle cry

Arsenal star Rice believes England can go all the way in Germany this summer and is determined to right the wrongs of their Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy at Wembley. With the squad the Three Lions have at their disposal, the 25-year-old thinks they simply have to lift that trophy in a few weeks' time.

He told the Evening Standard: “We know what we’ve got to do to win. We’ve got no excuses. The Euros are the last thing now that can really help me get over the hurt. Seeing Italy lift that cup in front of us last time: that feeling’s still in our belly. We want to get that now.

“Putting on that shirt before a major tournament again: that is such a good feeling. I feel like we’re ready... I’m ready.”

This may be England's most promising opportunity to win an international tournament for the first time since their 1966 World Cup triumph. And with players such as Rice at their disposal, they certainly have a good a chance as anyone this summer.

Rice and his England team-mates begin their Euros campaign on Sunday night against Serbia in their first group stage clash, followed by fixtures against Denmark and Slovenia on June 20 and 25 respectively.
