Star India spinner Kuldeep Yadav has once again become the talk of the town; this time, it’s due to his prediction of the Euro 2024 final scoreline between Spain and England. The match was played at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany. The familiar face in the interest of football, Kuldeep, was at the game, and his prophecy of the 2-1 win of Spain over England went viral.
Not a secret is Kuldeep Thakur’s love for football. His love for the game was at its usual graphic best when he met football megastar David Beckham during the semi-finals of the ODI World Cup 2023, played between India and New Zealand.
This time, with his football insight on full display, he was interviewed pitchside by the broadcasters before the Euro 2024 final. The 29-year-old spinner, during the interview, oozed with loads of overconfidence after correctly predicting the result of the game.

“Both teams are playing really well at the moment. Spain has been outstanding throughout this tournament. If they continue playing this way, they can easily upset England as the favorites. Finals are always tough to predict, but I am supporting Spain and believe they fulfill my prophecy of winning 2-1,” Kuldeep Yadav said on Sony Sports Network.

Right on target, the prediction made by Kuldeep. Spain has clinched the Euro 2024 final after scoring two goals against England’s one. Williams Nico scored the first goal for Spain in the 73rd minute. However, Cole Palmer equalized for England in the 73rd minute, before Mikel Oyarzabal scored in the 86th minute.

After the match, Kuldeep posted his thoughts on social media platform X—earlier Twitter. “Spain’s class is too good, playing so high on the pitch and switching flanks so effortlessly. Midfielders and Wingers have been a treat and a treat to watch, that’s true football,” said the arm-spinner from Uttar Pradesh.

In fact, what made Kuldeep’s accurate prediction of the result so cute for fans was the apparent enthusiasm with which he regards the game—a lot of deep understanding and real love for football. His presence in the Euro 2024 final added a much more off-beam flavor to the multifaceted personality of the cricketing star.
