La Spain he wins European 2024. It ends at the Berlin Olimpyastadion 2 to 1 about England. The Iberians rise to the top of Europe for the fourth time in their history.
First half of total balance between the two teams. Lots of Spanish dribbling, with England good at closing spaces and leaving Pickford with the simple task of defusing some high balls. On the other side, Southgate's men look for counterattacks and for the English Lions perhaps a noteworthy opportunity at the end of the first half: cross from the right from a free kick and Foden who volleys the ball which ends up in the arms of the goalkeeper Simon.
In the second half everything changes. Spain loses Rodri to injury, replaced by Zubimendi. In the 47th minute the Red Furies "uncork" the match: Yamal serves on the run Nick Williams who diagonally beats Pickford. The match changes, Dani Olmo and Morata would also have the opportunity to close. Southgate tries to shuffle the cards and removes captain Kane for Watkins. In the 64th minute, however, it was Bellingham who shook up the match for the French Lions, but his long-range shot went wide. A few minutes later it is Yamal who has the most tempting ball, but Pickford is extraordinary. In the 73rd minute England equalised: Saka from the right serves Bellingham who serves from the bank Palmer, who took over from Mainoo, who doesn't make mistakes from distance. In the 81st minute great play by Spain, Nico Williams centrally, the ball reaches Yamal who finds extraordinary opposition from Pickford. However, La Roja takes the lead again in the 86th minute: it all starts from Dani Olmo, the ball goes to Cucurella who provides the assist for oyarzabal, who took over from Morata, who hits the mark. England, however, never subdued and it took the combined efforts of goalkeeper Simon and Dani Olmo to block two close-range English headers, from a corner, in the final.
