Spain Beat England 2-1 To Win Euro 2024
Spain beat England 2-1 in the last few minutes of the match to win Euro 2024 for a record fourth time. Early in the second half, Spain had taken the lead thanks to Nico Williams, but Cole Palmer managed to equalize for the Three Lions. In the 86th minute, Mikel Oyarzabal found the back of the net, securing victory for La Roja. Marc Geuhi came close to leveling the score in the final moments, but Dani Olmo made a crucial defensive header.
As a team, Spain was clearly the best at the European Championships, and they’ve won it four times in a row, just ahead of Germany. They have played the best football overall, scored the most goals, and won all seven games. Spain only required extra time just once against Germany. They are now the only male national team for men to have won all seven games at the Euros.
France and England, who were considered favorites going into the tournament, often chose to sit deep and relied on their great players. In contrast, Spain played aggressively and was always on the front foot. They defeated France, England, Germany, and Italy on their incredible journey to win the Euros.
England Players Heartbroken After Loss To Spain
The England players were visibly emotional following their heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Spain in the Euro 2024 final last night. The nation was left devastated by the loss, as crestfallen fans couldn’t believe what they were witnessing. They had gathered in bars and pubs, hoping to witness England’s long-awaited victory since the World Cup of 1966.
England’s hopes of making history were dashed as Gareth Southgate’s men suffered a crushing defeat in Berlin, echoing the bitter loss they experienced in the Euro 2020 final.
Jordan Pickford and Cole Palmer couldn’t hide their disappointment, their faces filled with frustration. Meanwhile, a devastated Jude Bellingham found solace in the comforting presence of Southgate after he collapsed to the ground. Players were later consoled by friends and family in the stands, including Ollie Watkins, who cried while hugging his girlfriend.
The defeat left Prince William and Prince George visibly shocked. The Prince of Wales was later seen offering comfort to England’s disappointed captain, Harry Kane, as King Charles encouraged the team to remain proud and praised them as a source of national pride.
Will It Ever Come Home?
England men have been waiting for a big trophy since winning the World Cup at Wembley in 1966. This is another major final in three years, so there has been some progress.
Unfortunately, their loss against Spain in Berlin marks their 45th appearance in the European Championship finals. That’s 19 more games than any other country that has never won the tournament. Belgium is the team closest to them, having played 26 matches. If football will eventually come home, it’s going the long way, and it will be one to relish!
England’s loss in the Euro 2024 Final resulted in a historic record. They became the first team to lose consecutive Euro finals, following their previous loss to Italy in a penalty shootout three years ago. It has been over five decades since the English national team last tasted international glory with their historic World Cup triumph in 1966.
