Spain's players landed back on home soil on Monday afternoon, less than 24 hours after beating England in the final of Euro 2024.

La Roja became the first team to win four men's European Championships, after goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal saw them beat the Three Lions 2-1 at Berlin's Olympiastadion.

Having lifted their trophy on the pitch on Sunday night, Spain's stars went through the motions once again following their arrival at Adolfo Suarez Madrid–Barajas Airport.

Team captain Alvaro Morata and president of the Spanish football federation Pedro Rocha were both pictured raising the trophy aloft from the doorway of the aircraft.

The entire squad then posed for a photo next to the plane while stood on the tarmac.

After leaving the airport, the team went to meet Spain's prime minister, before heading to central Madrid for a public parade.

Spain were worthy champions after winning all seven of their matches at Euro 2024, including a 2-1 victory over hosts Germany in extra time.

Luis de la Fuente's side also beat Croatia, Italy, Albania, Georgia and France inside 90 minutes.

Spain midfielder Rodri won the award for Player of the Tournament, while Lamine Yamal - who celebrated his 17th birthday on the eve of the final - won the prize for being the best young player.

Three of the last five men's Euros have now been won by Spain, who claimed back-to-back titles in 2008 and 2012.

Spain's other European Championship crown was won in 1964, when it was a much smaller tournament with just four teams.

La Roja also went close at Euro 2020, before losing to eventual champions Italy via a penalty shootout in their semi-final at Wembley.
