Probably the most deserving euro champions of all times - won all their games and actually played better than all opponents and knocked out Germany, France, England and won against Italy and Croatia in group stage

[_AX]

😭😭 Thank You Spain for saving the world 😭🤘🇪🇦🔥

[TheMissiIe]

One of the most dominant Euro runs in a long time. Won 7/7. Beat Italy, Germany, France, England

[zzpapp]

England is screaming that they had one day less for relaxing. They did not complain as they got the easier branch of the bracket. Spain got France and Germany, they beat everybody, only one extended time, no penalties.

fabian ruiz 🔥 was on fire the whole tournament

[vincenzoriccio]

Well done spain from Italy 🇮🇹🤝🇪🇸. Spain beat all the best teams and fully deserved the trophy. Despite what the English say, yes, the best team does win tournaments. And yet again, humbled a team that think their better than they actually are. Every time England play a team their not expected to beat they lose. Winning isn't for everyone, certainly not England

[Speedyvampir]

Congratulations Spain 🇪🇸. You saved football. We can sleep in peace. ✌🏼

England couldnt have handpicked an easier draw, Spain couldnt have picked a tougher draw.
Phenomenal football from Spain, outstanding in 7 matches. The final was 2-1 going on 6-1.

[Thunderbolt]

Spain were the best all tournament long! They had to go through Italy, Germany, France and England! Beating the top 4 heavy footballing nations to win the Euro! 4x Euro Champions in 202"4"!!!! 🇪🇸 Well deserved!!!!

Spain had 24hrs more rest before the final? Spain had to go through Germany and France while England, after making a meal of Slovakia, got the Swiss and a mediocre Dutch side. England should have been able to rest through the whole tournament prior to the final.

Going into this tournament, a lot of us were backing France England Germany and Portugal over Spain as serious contenders to win the EUROs. Football absolutely won today and Spain deserved to win the title because as the tournament progressed, it was clear to a lot of people that they were a level above everyone and it wasn’t even close. On their route to the final, they managed to top a challenging group that had Croatia and Italy by having a perfect win record, and in the knockout stages they eased their way past Georgia beating them 4-1 after being behind initially and then they beat the likes of France and Germany respectively before beating England in the final where they were the much better team and managed to win the EUROs winning every single game in the process.

They did all of this while playing breathtaking football and they looked unstoppable for most stretches of this tournament and they had this ability of getting results and it was inevitable that they were going to win even if they fell behind or conceded an equalizer. Unlike certain teams luck was on their side at times, at least they didn’t have to rely on penalties as they took care of business and just won games. Even in the final today where they took the lead in the 2nd half and then conceded after that, you knew that they were going to win. The way they play makes them an exciting team to watch because as a whole, they’ve evolved as they went from being a team that was reliant on possession 1, 000 passes a game where they play 6 midfielders and their wide players are inverted midfielders, since they have Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams who were on fire, they were able to be more direct as both of them are exactly everything you want in a proper winger and they moved the ball so well and defended when they needed to. Luis Del La Fuente got everything right and he made this team fully click on all cylinders: The future looks very bright for this team and after winning the EUROs while being so dominant, it’ll be interesting to see what this group of players that Spain have at their disposal will achieve in the coming years.

You guy’s don’t talk about YAMAL ASSIST TO NICO That’s a crucial assist of the game

[pacoramon]

What has to do Carvajal to win Ballon D'or? He won:
-La Liga
-Spanish SuperCup
-UCL
-2024 Euros.

[seandelap]

Spain were worthy champions came through a hard draw beating Croatia' Italy' Germany and France and won all their games without relying on a penalty shootout and played the best football so its a fully deserved victory

[stavrosgeorgiades]

Spanish teams (national team and la liga teams) played 27 finals and WON THEM ALL!!

[Marc_Araujo]

Spain with a killer #9 would be terrifying...Viva España y la madre que la pario.

[josephjunior]

Spain was the best team in tournament 👏

[simbayoung]

Lamine and Williams showing Foden and them boys how you do it. Poor Jude

[praktika]

Spain played like a team.
England played like a bunch of individuals thrown together onto the pitch.
Spain relied on collaboration and teamwork.
England relied on individual moments of brilliance from individual players.

[seandelap]

Lets face it if England were at the other side of the draw there's absolutely no chance that they would have made the final and they made incredibly hard work of overcoming inferior opponents so is it any wonder that they lost to a team that can actually play football
