The only team in Europe to date that has won all matches in a Euro finals is the French team in 1984. That year, the blue team won after 5 wins (only counting the match time, including 2 regular halves and 2 extra halves, not including penalty shootouts), including 3 wins in the group stage, 1 semi-final win and 1 win in the final. The French team that year was extremely strong, with the legendary quartet of Michel Platini, Jean Tigana, Alain Giresse and Luis Fernandez famous throughout the world. After France's complete victory at EURO 1984, no team has been able to do this for the past 40 years. Spain is the only team to date that has come close to the French team's record from 40 years ago. The Spanish team has won all of their matches, counting the match time, since the start of EURO 2024. Specifically, the Spanish team beat Croatia 3-0, Italy 1-0, Albania 1-0 in the group stage. Then, they beat Georgia 4-1 in the round of 16, Germany 2-1 in the quarter-finals. Spain continued to beat France 2-1 in the semi-finals.

If Spain beats England in the EURO 2024 final tomorrow morning, July 15, coach Luis de la Fuente's team will complete their winning streak in this year's tournament. Even if Spain wins all matches in EURO 2024, their record will be even more brilliant than France's. Because in 1984, France only won a total of 5 matches (EURO 1984 had only 8 participating teams, divided into 2 groups, each group of 4 teams. After the group stage is the semi-final match). At EURO 2024, there are 24 participating teams, the teams that want to win the championship must play 7 matches, including 3 group stage matches, 1 round of 16 match, 1 quarter-final match, 1 semi-final match and 1 final match.
That means if Spain beat England tomorrow morning, they will equal France's all-time record and set a new record for most all-time wins at a EURO finals, calculated by kick-off time.
