BERLIN — Spain's national football team captured the 2024 UEFA Euro Cup title late Sunday night in Berlin, defeating England 2-1 in a tightly contested final match, thereby securing their position as the most successful team in the history of the tournament.
According to Philippines News Agency, Spain's victory was solidified with goals from Nico Williams in the 47th minute and Mikel Oyarzabal in the 86th minute. England's sole response came from Cole Palmer, who scored in the 73rd minute. This win marks Spain's fourth Euro Cup victory, with previous triumphs in 1964, 2008, and 2012, placing them ahead of Germany, which has three titles.
The match ended in heartbreak for England, marking their second consecutive defeat in the Euro Cup finals following their loss to Italy in the 2020 tournament, which was decided by a penalty shootout. Despite reaching the finals twice recently, England has yet to win a UEFA Euro Cup.
