• Littler eyeing World Championship redemption after latest triumph

  Luke Littler is eyeing redemption at the World Championship finals later this year after securing his maiden World Series of Darts Finals title in Amsterdam on Sunday.

  Littler, who won the Premier League in May, comfortably dispatched Michael Smith 11-4 in the final on Sunday with a 102.21 average after losing the first two legs. 

  The 17-year-old began the day with a quarter-final triumph over Chris Dobey before turning on the style against home favourite Michael van Gerwen in the semis. 

  Littler took home the £80,000 prize money but remains behind Dirk van Duijvenbode in the world rankings due to the tournament being an invitational one. 

  The teenager rose to fame earlier this year with his impressive run at the World Championships, reaching the final but losing to world number one Luke Humphries. 

  And Littler, who avenged Humphries in the Premier League final, wants to go one better at Alexandra Palace later this year. 

  "I'm playing well so I will go back home and practice even more. There is no time to sit about, it's a busy winter coming up," Littler said. 

  "Everyone wants to win everything but I've learned you can't do that. I would like to win another major [title].

  "I want the Worlds as anyone else does but another major would mean the world."

• Kane admits 'I'd swap everything' for Euro 2024 glory

  Harry Kane admits he would "swap everything I've done in my career" to win Euro 2024 with England, who face Spain in Sunday's final.

  The Three Lions, who were runners-up to Italy in the delayed Euro 2020, are appearing in their second successive European Championship show-piece, and aiming to go the extra step by claiming their first major tournament silverware since lifting the 1966 World Cup.

  Kane has already made history at this tournament, becoming the record goalscorer in the knockout stages of both the European Championship (six) and major tournaments overall among European players (nine).

  England and Tottenham's all-time leading scorer, the Bayern Munich striker is still seeking the first team trophy of his impressive career, and he is desperate to end that wait in Berlin.

  "It's no secret that I haven't won a team trophy," he told reporters during the pre-match press conference. "Every year that goes by, you are more determined and motivated to change that.

  "I have the opportunity to win one of the biggest [trophies] you can ever win and make history with my nation.

  "I am extremely proud to be English so, no question, I'd swap everything I've done in my career to have a special night and a win tomorrow evening, but that's not the case.

  "[There will be] a lot of hard work from now and until that moment. I'm ready to go and to make tomorrow night a special one."

  It will certainly not be easy for England against the most impressive team of the tournament in Spain, who have won all six of their matches while scoring 13 goals for the loss of just four.

  La Roja have put host nation Germany and France to the sword along the way, and are widely regarded as the favourites to lift the Henri Delaunay cup at the Olympiastadion.

  Asked if he thought that was the case, Kane added: "That's not for me or the players to decide. That's for the media, the fans to think of favourites.

  "But Spain have had a fantastic tournament. They have probably been the best team, consistency-wise throughout the tournament, so they probably earn that right, but as we know in football, in one game, anything can happen.

  "We back ourselves against anyone we play against. We've been through difficult spells in this tournament, but we've come through the other side. That builds a tremendous amount of belief and resilience, which is everything you need in a final.

  "We expect a tough game. We're in a European final, so we expect nothing less, and Spain will be difficult tomorrow night."

• Navas confirms international retirement after Euro 2024 final

  Jesus Navas confirmed he will retire from international duty following Spain's Euro 2024 final showdown with England on Sunday.

  The 38-year-old, who will bring the curtain down on an international career spanning 15 years, is the last remaining member of La Roja's 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Championship-winning sides.

  Navas has appeared three times for Spain during this tournament, captaining the side in their final Group B game against Albania, while deputising for the suspended Dani Carvajal at right-back in the semi-final win over France.

  The Sevilla wing-back, who will call time on his professional career later this year, admitted he has played through the pain barrier in recent years.

  Speaking ahead of Sunday's final, Navas highlighted similarities between Spain's current crop and the side that won three successive major international honours from 2008 to 2012.

  Although, he only lifted the lid on his international future following a conversation with skipper Alvaro Morata. 

  "[Morata] told me that it was time for me to speak since it is my last game with Spain!" he told reporters during the pre-match press conference.

  "I have been having a problem with my hip for four or five years, but playing for my country is everything for me.

  "I just want to leave everything on the pitch. You have to die for every moment here, for your team and your country. It is the biggest thing, and I am so proud of that.

  "Afterwards, everything hurts, but it is about giving it all you have on the day, to be the same person with the same kind of humility.

  "I am excited about everything that I have done in football and in the national team. Being here as a 38-year-old is unique and incredible.

  "In those years of success, we were a team both on and off the pitch. That was noticeable when we played, and it is the same here."
