And then, there were two. After 51 matches in 31 days, the European Championship climaxed in Berlin with a final between England and Spain.

La Roja have been the standout team of the tournament. Their fluid style coupled with the performances of their dynamic, young wingers in Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal saw them beat hosts Germany and Kylian Mbappé's France en-route to the final.

England's road to Berlin wasn't as arduous but has been equally compelling. From Jude Bellingham's overhead kick against Slovakia to Bukayo Saka's curling effort against Switzerland to Ollie Watkins' arrowed finish against Netherlands in the semifinal, it's been a campaign marked by individual brilliance.

The game matched the occasion, where after a cagey first-half, Nico Williams gave Spain the lead soon after the break before Cole Palmer drew England level with a strike from the edge of the box.

Spain Beat England To Win Euro 2024 Final With Late Mikel Oyarzabal Goal

Substitute Mikel Oyarzabal scored a dramatic late winner as Spain triumphed in Sunday's Euro 2024 final, beating England 2-1 to confirm their re-emergence as a force on the international stage and end their opponents' dreams of winning a first title in almost six decades. Spain lost influential midfielder Rodri to injury at half-time, but shrugged that off to take the lead within two minutes of the restart through Nico Williams, who was set up by his fellow star winger, Lamine Yamal. England came from behind as they have done so often at this Euros, as substitute Cole Palmer drove in the equaliser on 73 minutes, moments after entering the fray. But their resurgence in the game was cut short as Oyarzabal, the Real Sociedad forward, turned in a cross in the 86th minute to hand Spain a record fourth European Championship crown, and a third in the last five editions.
