England’s quest to end 58 years of pain and disappointment ended in failure as they were beaten by Spain in the Euro 2024 final at Berlin’s Olympiastadion.
Spain’s young star wingers combined to give them the lead two minutes after the break as LAMINE YAMAL’s pass opened up space for NICO WILLIAMS to beat England keeper Jordan Pickford with a powerful low finish.
England captain HARRY KANE was substituted on the hour and it was COLE PALMER who raised hopes of another dramatic comeback with a composed left-foot strike after 73 minutes.
Spain, however, Â snatched the win four minutes from time as OYARZABAL slid home MARC CUCURELLA’s cross to leave England the nearly men once more.
