Euro 2024: Highlights of Spain's Championship
The Spanish team defeated the English team in the final match to win the championship at this year's tournament. This championship was completely deserved when coach Luis de la Fuente and his team surpassed many strong teams to win the title.
4th time for Spain
Playing more dominantly than their opponents, they opened the scoring in the 47th minute through Nico Williams. However, the Spanish team also had some heart-stopping moments when Cole Palmer scored the equalizer and especially the two headers in the final minutes of the match from Declan Rice and Guéhi.
However, Mikel Oyarzabal's goal helped Spain beat England to win this year's tournament. With this victory, Spain has won the Euro 4 times, a record number of times in the tournament.
Meanwhile, the England team once again missed out on the Euro championship when they lost in the final for the second consecutive time. A sad ending for coach Gareth Southgate and his team.
Spain Team Records
In addition to becoming the first team in history to win the EURO 4 times, the Spanish team also set many records in this match. It was the first team to win all 7 matches to win the championship or the team to score the most goals in a EURO in history with a total of 15 goals.
It can be said that the Spanish team's championship is an "absolute" championship, as they have shown destructive power throughout this year's tournament.
England Team's regret
When Cole Palmer scored the equaliser, many fans thought that Gareth Southgate's substitutions would help England break the curse. And if England had been willing to increase the pressure to take advantage of their opponents' confusion, it could have been a different outcome.
If Declan Rice and Guéhi had been more accurate and luckier in their headers in the final minutes of the match, there could have been a better ending for Harry Kane and his teammates.
However, once again England had to watch the championship slip away. And they will have to wait at least 2 more years to find their first championship since the 1966 World Cup.
Rodri, the silent hero of the Spanish National Team
The best player of Euro 2024 is Rodri. This is a surprising result for many fans. Because in the Spanish team, Ruiz, Yamal or Nico Williams always play very well.
However, throughout this year's tournament, Rodri has played a very important role in the Spanish team's play. The Manchester City midfielder is like a beacon of light for his teammates. From intercepting to distributing the ball or regulating the tempo of the match, it is clear that Rodri is an indispensable card in the play of coach Luis de la Fuente's team.
6 players received the Golden Boot award
There weren't many standout strikers in this year's tournament, which resulted in six players sharing the Golden Boot award. They were Harry Kane (England), Dani Olmo (Spain), Cody Gakpo (Netherlands), Georges Mikautadze (Georgia), Jamal Musiala (Germany) and Ivan Schranz (Slovakia). These players all scored three goals in this year's tournament.
Meanwhile, the assist for Nico Williams to score the opening goal helped Lamine Yamal become the player with the most assists in this tournament with 4 assists. Clearly, this was also a brilliant tournament for this star who just turned 17.
So after 1 month, Euro 2024 has ended with the championship of the Spanish team. See you again at Euro 2028, the tournament will be held in the United Kingdom (including England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) and the Republic of Ireland./.
