Spain earned a late 2-1 win over England to win the 2024 European Championship trophy in Berlin on Sunday night.

The La Furia Roja capped off their impressive performances in the competition with glory after a pulsating encounter.

The first half ended goalless as both sides struggled to get hold of the game before the clash burst into life immediately after the restart.

Lamine Yamal, who had a quiet first half, set up Nico Williams to finish past Jordan Pickford after the England defense suffered lack of concentration in the 47th minute.

The young star became the youngest male footballer to play in a major international tournament final. He surpassed Pele (17 years, 249 days) at the 1958 World Cup.

Substitute Cole Palmer came off the bench to score a brilliant leveller after he was set up by Jude Bellingham.

Another substitute, Mikel Oyarzabal became the hero for Spain with the winning goal in the 86th minute to break England’s heart and set Spain on course for an historic triumph.

Dani Olmo produced a stunning goal line clearance to preserve Spain’s lead as they held on to win their fourth European Championship trophy.

Spain are the first country to win the men’s European Championships four times after their triumph in 1964, 2008, 2012 and 2024.

England’s agonising 58-year trophy drought continues as they switch attention to the 2026 World Cup.

Lamine Yamal was named the young player of the tournament after a return of one goal and four assists, while Rodri was named the player of the tournament.

Meanwhile, A total of six players will share the Golden boot award after they all scored three goals in the competition.

Harry Kane, Spain’s Dani Olmo, Georgia’s Georges Mikautadze, the Netherlands’ Cody Gakpo, Slovakia’s Ivan Schranz and Germany’s Jamal Musiala will share the award.

In the past, UEFA used assists as the tie breaker which could have seen Spain’s Dani Olmo emerge as the top scorer but it was announced at the beginning of the tournament that the award would be decided only on goals.
