Spain have been comfortably the best team over the last month in Germany
Spain’s forward Alvaro Morata holds the trophy and celebrates with teammates after winning the UEFA Euro 2024 final football match against England at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Sunday.
They previously won in 1964, 2008 and 2012, the last two titles coming either side of their triumph at the 2010 World Cup during the golden era of Xavi Hernandez, Xabi Alonso and Andres Iniesta.Whether this generation, led by the brilliant Yamal who was playing here a day after his 17th birthday, manage to repeat the achievements of that magnificent side remains to be seen, but theirs was a fitting victory.
Captain Harry Kane, meanwhile, is left at the age of 30 still looking for the first trophy of a career so rich in goals, this defeat coming after a season in which he also won nothing with Bayern Munich.It was always likely that Spain would control this game, and England spent most of the first half chasing the ball.
It felt like the loss of such a presence in the middle of the park could completely throw Spain off course, and yet they wasted no time in opening the scoring.
