Spain clinches fourth European championship title with thrilling 2-1 victory over England
Spain has secured a record-breaking fourth European Championship title by defeating England 2-1 in a captivating Euro 2024 final at the Olympiastadion on Sunday.
The match saw Nico Williams, a standout performer throughout the tournament, open the scoring for La Roja early in the second half. Williams showcased his striking prowess with a precise finish into the bottom corner, thanks to a perfectly-weighted pass from 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal.
England responded with a stunning equalizer midway through the second half. Cole Palmer delivered a brilliant left-footed strike from outside the box, bringing the score to 1-1 and igniting hopes of a comeback for the Three Lions.
However, Spain regained the lead with just under five minutes remaining in regulation time. Mikel Oyarzabal capitalized on an inch-perfect pass from Marc Cucurella, tapping in the decisive goal that sealed the victory for Spain.
This triumph marks Spain’s fourth Euro title, adding to their previous championships in 1964, 2008, and 2012. For England, it is yet another heartbreaking defeat in the European Championship, following their loss to Italy in a penalty shootout in the Euro 2020 final.
With this historic victory, Spain continues to assert its dominance in European football, showcasing a new generation of talent while reaffirming its storied legacy on the continental stage.
