Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal helped Spain win the EURO 2024 after beating England 2-1 in the final match of the tournament at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
Oyarzabal’s late goal gave La Roja a 2-1 win over England as they crowned the European Champions for a record-breaking fourth time. Spain stayed unbeaten in the 2024 edition of the tournament and got hold of the prestigious trophy.
Meanwhile, for the Three Lions, it was a similar feeling after losing two EURO finals and their wait to end their trophy drought goes on. In the first 15 minutes of the match, both teams played a tactical game. However, Spain kept more possession and tried to create two big chances.
Meanwhile, England just came close once to scoring the opening goal. The Three Lions struggled in the opening minutes of the match; they failed to get out of their own half as the Spaniards took full control of the midfield, giving no chance to the England attacker to trouble the Spanish goalkeeper, Unai Simon.
Minutes before the first half whistle, Spain skipper Alvaro Morata found space inside England’s box but before making a shot towards the goal, English defender Laporte came to block the Spaniard.
Jude Bellingham flicked his Real Madrid teammate Dani Carvajal and passed the ball to England skipper Harry Kane, who tried to place a fiery short from outside the box but Rodri made a vital block.
In the added minutes of the first half, England had a freekick on the right. Declan Rice whipped it into the middle of the box but Spanish defender Robin Le Normand cleared it. However, unmarked Phil Foden received the ball and placed it on the far side of the box, but Unai Simon made no mistake to grab it and keep the scoreline equal.
