Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has said it is “written in the stars” that England will go on to win Euro 2024.
Ferdinand stated this in reaction to the Three Lions coming from behind to beat Slovakia and progress to the quarter-finals.
Gareth Southgate’s men were seconds away from exiting the tournament following Ivan Schranz’s goal in the first half.
But Jude Bellingham equalized with a brilliant overhead kick in injury-time, before Harry Kane completed the turnaround in the first minute of extra-time.
“There comes a time in a tournament when you actually start believing you’re going to win it and I think this was the moment. I really do,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.
“They’re through to the quarter-finals, on the best side of the draw, it’s written in the stars. It’s written! We’re going to win it.
“Maybe I’m getting carried away but I don’t care, I don’t give a monkey. I’m getting carried away because I’m an England fan, I’m emotional and I love it.”
