With Mikel Oyarzabal's unexpected match-winning goal in the 86th minute, Spain defeated England 2-1 in the European Championship final, capping a competition that the squad dominated from beginning to end. To the titles Spain won in 1964, 2008, and 2012, add 2024.

Oyarzabal replaced captain Alvaro Morata in the match. Following their victories in the 2023 UEFA Nations League men's division and the Women's World Cup, both against England, Spain has returned to prominence in senior football.
