Gareth Southgate says he is "not a believer in fairytales but is a believer in dreams" as he prepares to lead England in Sunday's Euro 2024 final against Spain.
The men's team are looking to end their wait for a first trophy since winning the 1966 World Cup.
Southgate featured as a player at Euro 1996, which was played in England but won by Germany.
Asked if he felt it was fate the Three Lions now have the chance to win a European Championship in Germany, he said: "I am not a believer in fairytales but I am a believer in dreams.
"We have had big dreams and felt the importance of that, but you have to make those things happen.
“The run we’ve had, the late goals and penalties, doesn’t equate to it being our moment. We have to make it tomorrow and perform.
"It would be a lovely story and it's in our hands but the performance is the most important thing."
