The final itself was a gripping affair, with Spain ultimately prevailing over England with a 2-1 victory, clinching their fourth Euro title.
Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal were the heroes for La Roja, each scoring crucial goals that secured their team’s triumph.
Spain dominated proceedings early on, showcasing superior ball control and tactical acumen.
Despite England’s resilience, highlighted by a goal from substitute Cole Palmer in the 73rd minute, it was not enough to overcome Spain’s determined defence and clinical attacks.
Nico Williams broke the deadlock shortly after halftime, followed by Mikel Oyarzabal’s decisive strike in the 86th minute, which proved to be the match-winner.
The late drama unfolded amidst VAR scrutiny, confirming Oyarzabal’s goal was onside, much to the jubilation of Spanish fans.
The victory underscored Spain’s dominance throughout Euro 2024, remaining unbeaten and asserting their prowess as one of Europe’s footballing powerhouses.
