Ben Davies believes it's all systems go for Wales as they bid to reach the 2024 European Championship Finals on Tuesday evening (7.45pm UK).
Proud captain of his country, Ben is likely to line up alongside team-mates Brennan Johnson and Joe Rodon as Wales take on Poland in the Euro 24 play-off final at Cardiff City Stadium with a place in the finals in Germany this summer on the line.
Capped 85 times, the versatile defender has been an integral part of The Dragons' qualification for Euro 2016 - where they reached the semi-finals - Euro 2020 and the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
We're ready, we feel confident and hopefully we can do the job. We have to go out there and put in a professional performance
Now, having waited 58 years between qualifying for major tournament finals (the 1958 World Cup and Euro 2016), Rob Page's squad aim for a fourth appearance in the last five, only missing out on the 2018 World Cup in that time.
Wales beat Finland 4-1 in their play-off semi-final on Thursday evening - Brennan on target - while Poland toppled Estonia 5-1.
"We're ready and we're feeling confident, hopefully we can do the job" 💪

Speaking to the media on Monday afternoon, Ben said: "We're feeling good. We've played against some very good teams, picked up good results and feel a bit unlucky that we didn't qualify out of the group, especially when you look at our results against the better teams.
"But all that goes out of the window. It's one game, we're up against a good side who are in a similar situation to us, so, we're ready, we feel confident and hopefully we can do the job. We have to go out there and put a professional performance in. All our success comes as a team - there are no egos out there."
