Spain is European champion: after Wimbledon the European Football Championship

Without a doubt, the best team won, not only in the final, but also in the whole of Euro 2024. There Spain is European champion for the fourth time, a record achieved with the final won 2-1 against England who were defeated for the second consecutive European Championship.Infanta Sofia brings good luck. A year ago she celebrated the victory of the women’s world cup with her mother, now she is celebrating the men’s European Championship alongside King Felipe. Another disappointment for Prince George who accompanied his father William, the Prince of Wales, to Berlin.

The decisive goal was scored by Oyarzabal in the 87th minute. Spain had taken the lead at the start of the second half with Nico Williams, assisted by Yamal, who at 17 years and one day was awarded the prize for best young player of the tournament, and who conceded a goal by Palmer in the 73rd minute. In injury time, Dani Olmo’s save on the line was fundamental. All in the second half for the seventh win in seven games, demonstrating a superiority that was evident right from the start, from the first game against Croatia and the second against Italy. Rodri is the best player of the tournament and a great candidate for the Ballon d’Or.

Sorry for England. Sorry for Harry Kane, a great player who never managed to win anything in his career. Spain was superior, but the others really never win. For them it is the second consecutive final lost in Europe. The only international trophy remains the home World Cup of 1966, no cup comes home. King Charles wrote a message saying that we should be proud, but the trophy is not there.

For Spain it is a Sunday of triumph that goes from London to Berlin. First Carlos Alcaraz wins Wimbledon for the second consecutive year and then the national team wins the European Football Championship by beating England in the final, but before that Italy, Germany and France, more than half of the history of European football.
