Euro 2024: Spain Beat England To Win Record Fourth Title

Spain entered this year’s UEFA Euro 2024 as a front-runner, and they proved their domination every time they entered the pitch. Sunday night’s final was no different, and they managed to beat England 2-1 and win their record fourth title in the process. Both Spain and England were off to a slow start at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Sunday, where they played the Euro 2024 final in front of a crowd of 65,000. Despite creating a few chances, neither team managed to score a goal, but things quickly turned around at the start of the second half. Nico Williams gave Spain their first goal after England’s keeper Jordan Pickford failed to stop his powerful shot from inside the box. Cole Palmer raised England’s hopes for another comeback, but the luck that followed them on their way to the final wasn’t long-lived. Mikel Oyarzabal scored a late goal for Spain four minutes before the final whistle, and England couldn’t recover from this turn of events. Spain eventually won 2-1, and their players won all of the tournament’s main awards. Rodri received the Player of the Tournament award, while Lamine Yamal became the youngest player to win the Best Young Player award. This is Spain’s fourth UEFA European Championship trophy, and they broke the tie for most titles at this tournament they previously shared with Germany.
