Spain's national football team celebrated a triumphant return to glory with a dramatic 2-1 victory over England in the Euro 2024 final in Berlin, marking their first major trophy in 12 years. This win secured Spain's place in history as the record holder for the most European Championship titles, with four wins (1964, 2008, 2012, 2024), breaking the tie with Germany. The victory was not only a testament to Spain's enduring football prowess but also highlighted the exceptional talent of young prodigy Lamin Yamal.
Spain's remarkable performance in the tournament extended their unbeaten streak to 13 consecutive Euro games, comprising nine wins and four draws. Their last loss within regular or extra time dates back to the round of 16 in Euro 2016 against Italy. This impressive record underscores Spain's consistent excellence on the European stage and their ability to perform under pressure, especially in high-stakes matches.
The 2024 tournament showcased Spain's dominance, as they scored the most goals (15) and won all seven of their matches, setting a new record for victories in a single Euro tournament. Their path to the final included overcoming formidable opponents such as World Cup third-place finisher Croatia, defending European champion Italy, host nation Germany, world champion runner-up France, and finally England. Each of these victories highlighted Spain's tactical versatility and depth of talent.
The final in Berlin was particularly significant as it marked the 28th encounter between Spain and England, with Spain securing their 11th win against 14 losses and three draws. The game also completed a symbolic journey for Spain, who played in six different stadiums throughout the tournament, culminating at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin where they had begun their campaign.
Additionally, Lamin Yamal, at just 16 years and 362 days old, became the youngest scorer in Euro history, breaking a record set in 2004. His performance throughout the tournament has been pivotal, and he set another milestone by becoming the youngest player to appear in a Euro or World Cup final at 17 years and one day.
