After eliminating Germany and France, La Roja beat England 2-1 on Sunday to win the European Cup. This exciting duel took place at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
From the start of the match, Spain dominated possession against an England side that was withdrawn and eager to counterattack. However, after the first quarter of an hour, the English began to attack on the right, where the incisive Saka was supported by Walker.
England then looked more threatening, and their best chance came late in the first half when a well-placed free-kick allowed Foden to attempt a powerful shot, which was brilliantly saved by Unai Simón.
La Roja took the lead in the second half. In the 46th minute, Lamine Yamal orchestrated a brilliant move with a pass to Nico, who burst down the left and fired across the goal to make it 1-0. Spain then missed several chances to extend their lead.
England took advantage of their chances. Cole Palmer equalised by taking a back pass and unleashing a right-footed shot that grazed the post. The two teams left the match level and the game would pick up in intensity in the second half, leading to a second goal from the Spanish without any further ado.
The Spanish won 2-1 thanks to a late goal from Mikel Oyarzábal. Spain was superior, always looking to win, and won the European Championship for the fourth time in its history.
