Highlight Spain beat England 2-1 in Euro 2024 final
After the Spanish team defeated the English team 2-1 in the Euro 2024 final, which took place this morning (July 15), at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin (Germany), the Spanish team completed their domination of European football.
Currently, Spain holds both the European national team championship (Euro) and the European club championship (UEFA Champions League, owned by Real Madrid).

On the way to the top of Euro 2024, the Spanish team also almost won the individual titles. Specifically, midfielder Rodri was voted the best player of the tournament, midfielder Dani Olmo was one of the 6 joint top scorers, with 3 goals. And winger Lamine Yamal was voted the best young player of the tournament.
By defeating England in the final, Spain's Rodri also has a significant advantage over England's Jude Bellingham in the race for the 2024 Ballon d'Or.
If that happens, Spanish football will have a great 2024. The last time a Spanish player won the Ballon d'Or was in 1960. The winner of this title for Spanish football at that time was midfielder Luis Suarez of FC Barcelona (Spain).
Even during Spain's extremely successful period with two Euro championships in 2008 and 2012, and the 2010 World Cup, players from this football country only came second or third in the Golden Ball awards, not first.

Specifically, in 2008, Spanish striker Fernando Torres finished third at the Golden Ball award ceremony, after Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) and Lionel Messi (Argentina).
In 2010, Spanish midfielders Andres Iniesta and Xavi finished second and third respectively in the Ballon d'Or award, behind Lionel Messi.
In 2012, Spain's Andres Iniesta ranked third in the Golden Ball award, after Lionel Messi (ranked first) and Cristiano Ronaldo (ranked second).
Also with the Euro 2024 championship, Spain equaled the 40-year-old record of the French team, which was the achievement of winning all the matches in a Euro final round.
In 1984, the French team with the generation of Platini, Tigana, Fernandez, Giresse won the European championship after winning all 5 matches (3 group stage matches, semi-final match and final match).
At Euro 2024, Spain won all 7 matches, counting only the match time (including 2 regular halves and 2 extra halves, not including penalty shootouts). These 7 matches include 3 group stage matches, one round of 16 match, one quarter-final match, one semi-final match and one final match.
If only counting by the number of matches, the Spanish team at Euro 2024 has more wins than the French team at Euro 1984.
