Spain are the current European champions, just like they were heading into the 2014 World Cup.

Things didn't go to plan for the all-star team back then, though, as Robin van Persie and the Netherlands ran riot in Brazil.

In what was a repeat of the 2010 World Cup, which Andrés Iniesta won for La Roja deep into extra time, it appeared to be business as usual when Xabi Alonso broke the deadlock from the spot.

The Dutch responded in stunning fashion though, started with maybe the best header in international tournament history from the then-Manchester United striker.

Van Persie would get another, and Arjen Robben joined him with a brace, as Louis van Gaal's Oranje revolution kicked off and Spain's reign ended.

Can you think of a better header? Let us know in the comments!
