Spain clinched a record fourth European Championship title on Sunday with Mikel Oyarzabal's decisive 87th-minute goal, securing a 2-1 victory over England. The win prolongs England's decades-long pursuit of a major trophy.
Oyarzabal capitalized on Marc Cucurella's cross just as the match at Berlin's Olympiastadion seemed set for extra time. England's substitute Cole Palmer had earlier equalized in the 73rd minute, canceling out Nico Williams' opening goal from Lamine Yamal's pass.
With previous titles in 1964, 2008, and 2012, Spain celebrated joyously. England, however, faced another agonizing defeat in front of dignitaries including Prince William and Spain's King Felipe. Post-match scenes saw Spanish players like Yamal, Cucurella, and Dani Olmo sharing the moment with their fans.
