Euro 2024 Final: Agony For England As Mikel Oyarzabal's Late Winner Breaks English Hearts — WATCH
Euro 2024 Final: England lose yet another final, as Spain reign supreme in Berlin. Here are the details. WATCH.
Euro 2024 Final: Mikel Oyarzabal writes his name in the history books, as the Real Sociedad forward scored the winning goal for Spain late in the game against England to deliver La Roja their 4th Euro championship. It was a lovely one-two between Mikel Oyarzabal and Marc Cucurella, as the pair completed the counter-attack with perfection. The former received the ball from the Spanish left-back, and returned it back to him to complete a one-two, but it was sheer quality from Marc Cucurella to deliver an inch-perfect low cross into the box, which was met by Mikel Oyarzabal, who toe-poked his effort pass Jordan Pickford.

Harry Kane, England captain:
"It's hard to put into words how we're all feeling. It's an opportunity missed. You have to take it when it comes and we haven't done it again. It'll hurt for a long time."
