Berlin, July 15: Spain won a record fourth European Championship title on Sunday after Mikel Oyarzabal's 87th-minute goal clinched a 2-1 victory over England, whose painful decades-long wait for a major trophy goes on.

Oyarzabal slid in to poke home Marc Cucurella's cross just when the game at Berlin's Olympiastadion seemed destined for extra time after the latest show of resilience by England at the tournament. UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin Hails Euro 2024 As ‘Best Ever’ Edition of Tournament.

Substitute Cole Palmer equalized for England in the 73rd minute to cancel out Nico Williams' opener in the 47th from 17-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal's pass. Spain also won the title in 1964, 2008 and 2012 and became the first team to clinch the European Championship four times.

England men's team has now lost back-to-back Euro finals and is still without a major title since winning the 1966 World Cup. It is another agonizing loss for one of the world's most underperforming national teams, this one coming in front of Prince William and Spain's King Felipe at the venue built for the 1936 Olympics. Football At Paris Olympics 2024: Check Full Schedule, Match Timings in IST and Fixtures of Men’s and Women’s Competition at Summer Olympic Games.

After the final whistle, Williams put his hands to his face before he was embraced by his teammates. Dani Carvajal slumped to the field and was piled on by jubilant teammates. Yamal, Marc Cucurella and Dani Olmo were among the first to jump over the advertising hoardings to reach the Spanish fans in the stadium's east end. (AP)
