UFC superstar Conor McGregor is set for a mega payout if his Euro 2024 final bet comes off.
On Sunday night, Gareth Southgate’s men will look to put their past disappointments behind them as they take on Spain for Euro 2024 glory at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
The Three Lions are in their second successive Euro finals after being beaten by Italy on penalties at Wembley three years ago.

This time around, England headed into the tournament as the favourites but Spain will prove to be tough opponents after playing some stellar football over the last few weeks.
Ahead of the match, former UFC champion McGregor took to social media to reveal his bet for the clash.
He wrote: “Hey guys, Spain are winning 3-1 tomorrow. I have placed €100k on @Duelbits at the amazing odds of 19/1. This result will see me take in €2m cash as well as the €1.1m I will cash on them just winning! €3.1m all in! The match is on my birthday! Tomorrow! Good luck and YOU’RE WELCOME!”

McGregor later added: “My bad guys, @Duelbits just hit me up! They really have the best odds ever! The odds on that score coming in “3-1 Spain” isn’t 19/1 it is actually 25-1!!!
“This means the return on my €100k will be €2.6m! Lovely jubbly €3.7m all in tomorrow for my birthday! THE RICH GET RICHER, BE EXCITED!”
Speaking about Spain ahead of the final, England boss Southgate said: “They have won a few trophies. They are a bloody good side. Let’s pitch it right. We have got to be perfect to win this game and we will have to find everything that we have got from within us.

“We have got players who have played lots of big matches so they will know what is required on the night but in the next couple of days we have got to get perfectly prepared as it is such a quick turnaround.”
He added: “They would rightly be favourites for what they have done this tournament.
“They have been the best team. They have got a day longer and in the last three finals it has been quite significant, so we have got to get our recovery spot on. Tactically, we will have to be perfect as they are such a good side.”
