Spain defeated England 2-1 in the final of Euro 2024 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on 14 July 2024. The victory gave Spain a record fourth European Championship title, extending their lead over Germany, who have three.
Nico Williams put Spain ahead shortly after half-time. England, coached by Gareth Southgate, equalised through substitute Cole Palmer in the second half. With the match heading towards extra time, Mikel Oyarzabal, also a substitute, scored the winner a few minutes from the end after a cross from Marc Cucurella.
The result capped a tournament in which Spain won all seven of their matches under coach Luis de la Fuente, playing an attacking, possession-based style. Midfielder Rodri was named player of the tournament, while teenager Lamine Yamal was named the best young player. For England, it was a second consecutive loss in a European final, after defeat to Italy on penalties in 2021. The win made this Spain generation a reference point for the squads that followed.
