Spain are the champions of Europe for a fourth time. La Roja defeated England 2-1 in the final of UEFA Euro 2024 on a late goal from Mikel Oyarzabal to claim their fourth major honour since 2008. The victory breaks a tie for most Euro triumphs with 2024 hosts Gemany.
BERLIN — Spain won a record fourth European Championship title on Sunday after Mikel Oyarzabal’s 86th-minute goal clinched a 2-1 victory over England, whose painful decades-long wait for a major trophy goes on.
England men's team has now lost back-to-back Euro finals and is still without a major title since winning the 1966 World Cup. There were joyous scenes after the final whistle among the Spanish players, with Williams putting his hands to his face before he was embraced by his teammates. Dani Carvajal slumped to the field and was piled on by jubilant teammates.
Yamal’s mother is from Equatorial Guinea and his father is from Morocco, while fellow winger Williams has Ghanaian parents who made the long journey to Europe looking for a better life. To make it to Spain, they had to ride on the back of a crowded truck and walk barefoot through the Sahara desert.
