- Euro 2024: "Viva Espana!" Spain beats England and is European champion! And fans go crazy!
The Spanish title party with the king began on the lawn of Berlin's Olympic Stadium - and is not due to end until late this Monday in Madrid. The new European champions celebrated wildly after the 2:1 (0:0) win against the bitterly disappointed English. "Oh my God. What a day. Probably the best day of my football career," said Rodri, who was voted the best player of the tournament.
The Spanish King Felipe VI and his daughter Sofía first watched the game from the VIP box and then came down to the players to hand over the European Championship trophy. That same evening, the Spanish association published the schedule for the fans: Coach Luis de la Fuente's team is due to land at Madrid airport at 2:10 p.m. From there, they will head to the town hall, where tens of thousands of people will be celebrating from 8 p.m. The end is open.
Already midnight? No problem!
"I'm proud and happy," said de la Fuente late on Sunday evening - but time was not a problem. "Midnight is actually quite early," said the national coach, also looking at his homeland. The people in Spain have "every reason to go out and celebrate now. I'm happy that people are here." No one is angry if someone is late for work. The employers want to "celebrate too," said the national coach.
It was a "wonderful day for us," said de la Fuente immediately after the final whistle. "My team deserved to win. Thank you to all of Spain for the support. We can always get better. That's perhaps a bit of our secret: we can always get better."
On the way to the final, the Furia Roja knocked the German national team out of the tournament in the quarter-finals. Marc Cucurella, who had gotten the ball in his hand in the penalty area during extra time against the DFB selection but did not cause a penalty, was booed by some fans for a long time in the final. Late in the evening, the 25-year-old celebrated happily with his teammates.
Worthy successors to the great winners
In previous tournaments, the Spanish had struggled to follow in the oversized footsteps of the European and World Champions of 2008, 2010 and 2012. Players such as Xavi, Andrés Iniesta and Fernando Torres had shaped an era. Twelve years after the third European title, 17-year-old Lamine Yamal and 22-year-old Nico Williams, who had shaped the Spanish game during the tournament, were particularly celebrating in Berlin. Williams scored the opening goal in the 47th minute after an assist from Yamal.
"A dream has come true. I'm looking forward to coming back to Spain," said Yamal, who celebrated his 17th birthday in Germany on Saturday. "It was very difficult at the beginning. We managed it. We keep fighting." Williams looked specifically ahead to the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the USA: "We deserve it, as do our friends and the fans. Hopefully it will continue like this - also at the World Cup."
England’s football agony continues
The English had no choice but to say goodbye in silence on Sunday. As was the case three years ago at Wembley Stadium against Italy, they were not quite enough in the final. Cole Palmer (73') managed to equalise temporarily. But Mikel Oyarzabal (86') made Spain celebrate - but there was no end to the painful wait for the second major title after the victory in the 1966 World Cup final.
