A popular Spanish football programme has accused UEFA of setting up Euro 2020 so that England reaching the final - and even claimed the Three Lions' winning semi-final penalty was an example of this.
Gareth Southgate's side will contest Italy in Sunday's European showdown at Wembley after defeating Denmark after extra-time on Tuesday night, with the Azzurri knocking out Spain the day before in the north west London arena.
England have played all but one of their matches at Wembley this season and El Chringuito, famed for their infamous post-match rants, claim the decision to award Raheem Sterling a controversial penalty in extra-time in the last-four clash is a clear sense of favouritism.
Journalist Roberto Morales, who is a guest on the show, also suggested that the tournament should not have been held in England due to the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union.
El Chringuito host Josep Pedrerol, who went viral after slamming Eden Hazard for laughing after Real Madrid's Champions League loss to Chelsea earlier this year, asked Morales: 'You think UEFA organised this for an England final?'
The journalist responded: 'For me, this has been the most shameful competition that we have covered. It has been pathetic.
'We've had matches in cities that aren't even European in any sense. We've got a final that was prepared for a country that left the European Union.
'It has been totally prepared. They've played every game at home except one. It has been totally conditioned for England.
'All that was missing was the help received (on Tuesday) with the penalty in a game that was proving complicated.'
England winger Sterling went down under several Denmark challenge, including a final one from Brentford midfielder Mathias Jensen, and Dutch referee Danny Makkelie pointed to the spot.
Three Lions captain Harry Kane saw his spot kick saved by Kasper Schmeichel but the rebound fell into the path of the England striker who scored to put England 2-1 up.
Southgate's side arguably faced their biggest challenge of the tournament so far against the Danes, who took the lead at Wembley through Mikkel Damsgaard's sensational free-kick, only for Simon Kjaer to score an own goal after good work from Kane and Bukayo Saka.
The extra-time penalty caused a stir among the football community, with a petition created to get the match replayed due to the controversial spot kick call.
Meanwhile, former Denmark goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, along with ex-Premier League bosses Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger, all claimed the penalty should not have been given to England in extra-time.
Speaking about referee Makkelie, Schmeichel told beIN Sports: 'He made a really big mistake on the penalty and this will be debated for a long, long time. It's a hard one to take because it's not a penalty.
'I would have been much more relaxed and acceptable if they had scored one of the many chances that they created but unfortunately the referee made a big mistake in my opinion.
'I know in your opinion (points at other pundits in the studio) and everyone's opinion, my phone has not stopped going off, everyone else is saying it's not a penalty so I'm quite sure that I am (right in saying that)'.
Meanwhile, Mourinho added: 'It was never a penalty, never a penalty,' he told talkSPORT. 'The best team won, England deserved to win, England was fantastic but for me it was never a penalty.
'England were really, really good and no doubts that deserved to win that match but for me it is never a penalty. I think at this level, especially at this level, the semi-final of a Euros, I don't understand the referee's decision and I don't understand even more why VAR didn't get the referee to go to the screen or overturn the decision.
'For me it's never a penalty. Not with Vestergaard and not with the second defender. So as a football man I am very happy England won and I think they deserved to win, don't get me wrong, but as a football man I am disappointed that that penalty was given.'
Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was equally bemused by VAR's failure to intervene.
'No penalty,' Wenger said on beIN SPORTS. 'I don't understand why they don't ask the referee to have a look at it.
'In a moment like that, it's important that the referee is absolutely convinced that it was a penalty. It was not clear enough to say: 'yes it is,' and at least he should have had a look on the screen.
'I don't know why the VAR didn't ask him to go. For me, it was no penalty, no. I think that VAR has let the referee down, not Denmark. Denmark is a bit unfortunate.
'I understand that it's difficult for the referee, but he must have a look at it.'
