England Suffers Second Consecutive European Final Defeat As Spain Edge Them 2-1 To Lift Trophy

Spain wins Euro 2024, defeating England 2-1 in a dramatic final to become European Champions fourth time in a record in Berlin on Sunday.

Spain players celebrate after defeating England and winning Euro 2024.
Nico Williams, one of Spain’s breakout performers at the tournament – gave La Roja the lead minutes into the second half when he smartly finished in the bottom corner from a perfectly-weighted pass from the team’s other emerging star, freshly turned 17-year-old Lamine Yamal.

England equalized midway through the second half through a brilliantly placed left-footed effort from Cole Palmer from outside the box to restore parity at the Olympiastadion in the German capital, Berlin.

But with just under five minutes remaining in regulation time, Spain took a late lead when Mikel Oyarzabal tapped home an inch-perfect pass from Marc Cucurella to cap off a victory and a terrific tournament for La Roja.

It is Spain’s fourth Euro title – having previously won in 1964, 2008 and 2012, while for England, it is heartbreak for a second straight European Championship having been beaten by Italy on penalties at Euro 2020.
