Fans ‘cringing’ at Kate Beckinsale’s good luck prayer to England ahead of Euro 2024 final

Kate Beckinsale issued a good luck message to Gareth and the lads ahead of the game

Kate Beckinsale is every England fan hoping that the national team can finally bring home a trophy in our lifetime.

As I'm sure everyone is aware, the last time the men's team won silverware was in 1966, winning the coveted World Cup.

Since then, it's been a bit of a slog.

Though Gareth Southgate has become the first England manager to reach two European finals back-to-back, we're hoping they can go all the way this time.

It was penalty heartbreak against Italy in 2021 - but we're praying that tonight's Euro 2024 final against Spain will be different.

Amongst those praying for a win, the Pearl Harbor actor - who recently pressed her bare buttocks against the window of her Knightsbridge flat - has issued a good luck prayer on social media for Southgate and the lads ahead of the game.

Reimagining Lord's Prayer, she began in the video: "Here's a prayer for the England team for such good luck on Sunday at the final.

"Our Gareth, who art in Berlin.

"Hallowed by thy Kane.

"Thy time has come, thy final will be won.

"In normal time, not extra.

"Give us this day our jammy win and forgive us for criticising your tactics as we almost forgive you for dropping Grealish.

"Lead us not into penalty shootouts but deliver us from Yamal.

"For thine is the final, the trophy and the glory, forever and ever amen."

Her mum then comes rushing into the room shouting: "Vindaloo."

"Oh my god mum," shouts Beckinsale.

However, taking to the comments section, many viewers said they found the video 'cringy'.

"Cringe beyond belief," one person wrote, as a second penned: "The message is a bit cringe. But Kate is 50 and looks absolutely amazing."

"Do people get paid to do this…..Cringey," a third commented.

Meanwhile, a number of Christians said the clip was 'offensive'.

"It's a massive game yes, but there's no need to pray to Gareth, this is disrespectful to us Christians, so pls bear that in mind, and instead just hope + believe," a fourth said.

Others jumped to her defence, writing: "Seriously? You think an actress making a video is going to cause the team to lose?"

"Nice one Kate," another person added.

LADbible has contacted representatives of Kate Beckinsale for comment.

Spain v England will be shown live on BBC One and ITV1 from 6:30pm, with kick off set to be at 8pm.
