England has started its Euro 2024 campaign with a Group C match against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen's Veltins-Arena. The game saw Jude Bellingham score the opening goal with a header, giving England a 1-0 lead. The goal came from a cross by Bukayo Saka, who was set up by Kyle Walker. This match marks the first time England has sung 'God Save the King' at a European Championship. Tens of thousands of fans packed the stadium, and millions watched from home, despite crowd trouble and travel chaos before the game. England fans also gathered at a Fan Fest in Germany. Bellingham's goal also made him the youngest European player to participate in three major tournaments. Harry Kane, who also played, has now appeared in more games for England than Diego Maradona did for Argentina.
