⏪ Look back on the action as Spain piled EURO misery on England | OneFootball

EURO 2024 ended with a bang this evening.

That's it from us at OneFootball! Thanks for joining us for all the EURO 2024 action this summer.

Hard to say they didn't deserve it, but it still hurts for England.

A record fourth EURO win for Spain.

FULL TIME! SPAIN ARE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS!

England can't believe it, the second consecutive final defeat for Gareth Southgate's side.

90' CHANCE!

Off the line for England as Stones' header is scrambled away before Declan Rice heads over.

Four minutes of added time for England to rescue themselves.

89' SUBSTITUTIONS

Changes for both sides as Ivan Toney replaces Phil Foden and Yamal comes off for Mikel Merino.

86' GOAL!

Spain retake the lead! Four minutes left to play and a cross by Marc Cucurella is met by Oyarzabal, who steers the ball past Pickford.

La Roja are on the verge of EURO glory.

SUBSTITUTION

Like for like for Spain as veteran defender Nacho replaces Robin le Normand at the heart of defence.

Ollie Watkins will be fancying his chances.

82' CHANCE

Pickford again! Lamine Yamal thinks he's scored but hits his effort straight at England's no.1, who is up to the task.

80' England are right back in this, but Spain are beginning to dominate the ball again.

They drew 1-1 with Germany in the quarter final before winning in extra time, could they do the same here?

A good omen for England?

For those in the UK, enjoy....

73' GOAL!

England are level! Jude Bellingham tees up Cole Palmer, who fires into the bottom corner to bring his side back into the game.

Another magic moment for England.

70' SUBSTITUTION

For Spain, Mikel Oyarzabal replaces Alvaro Morata in the La Roja frontline.

Meanwhile, Cole Palmer comes on for Kobbie Mainoo with England needing a goal.

An attacking change.

66' CHANCE!

Lamine Yamal tries to curl an effort into Pickford's far corner, but the England goalkeeper is up to the task.

Keeping England in it.

64' England are finding their feet again here.

Foden beats Cucurella before finding Bellingham, whose turn allows him to get a left-footed shot away but it flies wide.

Better from Southgate's side.

Even the England crowd knew it...

60' SUBSTITUTION

England take off their captain, with Harry Kane being replaced by Ollie Watkins.

Not a tournament he will remember fondly on a personal note, but his side still have a chance to make history without him.

56' Nico Williams has England on the ropes.

A poor clearance finds the Spaniard, and he fires wide from 25 yards.

England need to find some composure from somewhere.

54' YELLOW CARD

John Stones is caught the wrong side and picks up a yellow card for England.

Gareth Southgate's side just have to ride out this wave, or they could be down and out before the hour mark.

England are struggling to get going again in the second half.

Spain took full advantage.

47' GOAL

Spain lead 1-0 inside 2 minutes in the second half, and it is the impressive Nico Williams who does the damage.

Lamine Yamal rolls the ball into his path, and the Athletic Bilbao man does the rest.

Spain are on course for the European Championship trophy.

SUBSTITUTION

A surprise change as Rodri is withdrawn for Martin Zubimendi for the second half.

It has to be an injury for the Manchester City man.

Bellingham put in quite a shift in the first half.

At the other end, Lamine Yamal took the lead in one EURO 2024 stat....

A low quality affair in terms of efforts on goal...

HALF TIME: 0-0

A low key half of football. Cagey bordering on dull, but there is still plenty of time.

Who will get the ball rolling in the second half?

46'

Into two minutes of added time and England have their first shot on target.

A free kick is flicked into the path of Phil Foden, whose effort is straight at Unai Simon.

40'

Nico Williams still looks the most dangerous player on the pitch, and goes to try his luck on the other flank.

It comes to nothing, but Spain are definitely dominating the ball in this game.

36' Is Kane becoming a problem for England again? The Three Lions have no real out ball and Spain are beginning to suffocate them.

31' YELLOW CARD

Fellow joint-top goalscorer Dani Olmo joins Kane in picking up a yellow card for a late challenge on Declan Rice.

28' A shot! Fabian Ruiz has an effort blocked by Marc Guehi and the ball trickles into the gloves of Jordan Pickford.

It'll go down as an effort on goal though.

26' YELLOW CARD

England skipper Harry Kane is the first man into the referee's notebook for a foul on Fabian Ruiz.

It came after England looked threatening around the Spanish penalty area.

23' Midway through the first half and neither side has had a shot yet, let alone an effort on target.

Tetchy so far.

18' Couple of bright minutes for England, and it's all coming down their right hand side.

Bukayo Saka and Nico Williams standing out for their respective sides at the moment...

15' Nico Williams has another cross cleared, before England win a corner courtesy of Kyle Walker.

Phil Foden can't beat the first man though.

10' Both sides are feeling their way into the game at the moment.

Bellingham wins a free-kick after being fouled by Rodri, but it comes to nothing.

At the other end, a John Stones block denies the electric Nico Williams.

5' Spain have had lots of the ball so far but neither side has created anything yet.

It's already a historic night though....

Jude Bellingham is beginning the game on the left hand side of England's front 4, with Phil Foden centrally.

You'd imagine that will be pretty flexible set up as the half goes on.

KICK OFF!

England get us underway in Berlin, and immediately give the ball to Spain.

We are now just minutes away from kick-off with both teams stepping out into the arena. What a game we have in prospect!

if the final was being settled by which set of fans made the most pre-match noise, England would be comfortably ahead. The Three Lions are outnumbering their Spanish counterparts in the Olympiastadion and out-singing them too.

Gareth Southgate has raised some eyebrows by handing Luke Shaw his first international start in a year tonight. Here's how the Three Lions head coach explained his thought process.

The EURO 2024 final takes place on Sunday night at Berlin's Olympiastadion, where Spain take on England.

The mood is building ahead of kick-off with England fans already in good spirits back in London's Trafalgar Square.

TEAM NEWS!

As anticipated, just the one change for the Three Lions.

It's the thought that counts... right?

But England fans in Manchester don't care...

Spain are in some form heading into tonight...

The Spanish team news is in...

Luis De La Fuente makes two changes.

Records will be tumbling either way this evening....

From one young Spanish talent to another....

Lamine Yamal stands on the edge of history yet again.

He only turned 17 yesterday!

Over in the Tennis, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz has won in straight sets in the final at Wimbeldon.

He was asked about the EURO final, and had this to say on it....

Lots of the focus ahead of the final has been on teenage sensation Yamine Lamal, who scored a screamer in the semi-final against France.

But Bukayo Saka has quietly been very impressive for England too.

Could he play a key role again this evening?

Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel took offence to the idea that it was "coming home" for England back in EURO2021, arguing that it had never actually been won by England before.

He seems to have declared his support for England this time around, but not without a subtle reminder of their previous failures.

Last night, England team news suggested that the Three Lions would be unchanged for the tournament showpiece in Berlin.

Now, fresh reports claim Luke Shaw is in line for his first start of the tournament after a cameo vs the Netherlands.

New Man Utd owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe just has one request....

Three years ago England were on the wrong side of a penalty shoot out (sorry for the reminder, England fans!).

The EUROs before that was separated by this strike deep in extra time....

What drama should we expect today? Let us know in the comments!

According to some, there could be as many as 50,000 England fans in the stadium tonight, versus just 12,000 Spanish supporters.

Will it be Sweet Caroline ringing around Berlin this evening? 🎶

Much has changed. Only three players from this game are set to start tonight.

What a tournament it has been. Time to look back on some of the best bits.

There's no stone being left unturned in ensuring the Olympiastadion is ready for action.

In non-Euros news, Joshua Zirkzee's Manchester United arrival is imminent.

A reminder that it isn't just Europe who will crown a champion today.

Dedication on display.

He will miss the game through injury but Spain star Gavi is still with the squad to lend support.

We have a feeling this poll will divide opinion...

The European Championship trophy may not be the only thing arriving in Madrid this week.

Kylian Mbappé is presented as a Real Madrid player on Tuesday... and the stadium has sold out to welcome him!

England have brought the weather for the final.

The atmosphere is building in Berlin among the Spanish support.

Meanwhile, in Scotland...

Our friends at 90min have chosen their EURO 2024 final combined XI.

Do you agree with their picks? Who makes your side?

Fans have already descended on the England hotel in Berlin to see their side off.

A reminder of the prize on offer to tonight's victors.

This fixture does have some pleasant memories for England.

A place in the record books could be on the cards for La Roja.

Ominous for England.

History beckons for the England manager in Berlin.

Your timely reminder that he only turned 17 on Saturday!

Hollywood stars are lending their support to England... in a rather unique way.

Can England end their long wait tonight?

For the data driven, here all of the key numbers you need to know about Spain-England.
