Mikel Oyarzabal's winning goal secures 4th title for Spain

The 87th-minute goal by Mikel Oyarzabal in the match helped secure the fourth Euro title for the Spanish side.

Nico Williams opened the score for Spain in the 47th minute of the match which was equalised by substitute Cole Palmer of England. Before the 2024 edition, Spain won the Euro Cup in 1964, 2008, and 2012.

The Championship started as the European Nations Cup, and later, its name was changed in 1968 to UEFA European Football Championships or Euro Cup.
