England’s hopes of ending 58 years of disappointment were dashed as they fell to Spain in the Euro 2024 final at Berlin’s Olympiastadion.
Gareth Southgate’s team suffered a devastating blow when Mikel Oyarzabal scored a late winner, leaving England unable to break their long spell without success in men’s international football.
Spain took the lead early in the second half through Nico Williams after a precise pass from Lamine Yamal created the opportunity. Despite Cole Palmer’s equalizer in the 73rd minute, substituting for Kobbie Mainoo, England couldn’t maintain their momentum.
In the final minutes, Oyarzabal capitalized on Marc Cucurella’s cross to secure Spain’s victory, condemning England to another heartbreaking near miss.
Both Lamine Yamal and Rodri was warded the youngest player of the tournament and the best player of the tournament respectively after the competition.
