Spain are Champions of Euro 2024
Mikel Oryazabal's 86th minute close range tap in was enough to guarantee the spaniards a historic 4th European title. De la Fuente's men have been lively throughout the season and were the more likely but against England it was always going to be a tough outing.

Spain won all their seven fixtures caping one of their most dominant tournaments in history both in terms of displays on the pitch and goals scored. The tournament also gave birth to exceptional young spanish talent like Nico Williams and 16year old Lamine Yamal.
It was a dismal performance from England throughout the first half with Spain taking a lion share of possesion although the game remained scoreless. Spain drew first blood 2 minutes into the second half going ahead 1-0.
Tactical changes by Gareth Southgate brought in Chelsea youngster Cole Palmer who made no mistake from just outside the box equalizing with a stunning low ball.
It was never to be for England as Spain's experienced attacker Mikel Oyarzabal tapped in a close range ball to ensure the Euro Championship trophy was headed for Spain. England have now lost 2 major international trophies having lost a World Cup.
