Heartbreak For England As Spain Claim Record 4th European Title

Spain has captured a record fourth title in the European Championship after beating England 2-1 during Sunday’s final in Berlin, Germany.

Mikel Oyarzabal scored the late winner in the 86th minute of the game to give Spain their fourth continental title. The Spaniards also won in 1964, 2008 and 2012 — broke a tie with Germany for the most titles in tournament history.

A final that exploded into life in the second half looked set for extra time after England substitute Cole Palmer cancelled out Nico Williams’ opening goal for Spain.

But it was another substitute, Oyarzabal, who had the final word. The Real Sociedad forward was found just onside by a teasing Marc Cucurella cross to stab past Jordan Pickford and deliver Spain’s first major trophy since their golden generation won the last of three consecutive titles in 2012.
