Euro 2024 News

England fans' hypothesis of the 'moment their Euro 2024 hopes died' was shared by Gareth Southgate , who admitted a poor long throw was the 'turning point' in their heartbreaking final defeat by Spain. The Three Lions were left empty-handed on Sunday night as goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal saw La Roja claim a record-fourth European Championship. But as the dust settles on the defeat, supporters have looked back at moment when England were in the ascendancy. For a few minutes, following Cole Palmer 's 73rd-minute equaliser, Southgate's side were on top of their opponents.

Wild scenes took place in Madrid as thousands of patriotic supporters gathered in Spain's city centre to welcome the Euro 2024 title-winners back following their win over England. Victorious players and coaching staff flew back to Spain earlier on Monday and were given a heroes welcome as the nation's football fans and royal family recognised the outstanding achievement.

Jude Bellingham's pre-Euro 2024 campaign with Adidas reportedly caused a stir in the England camp.  The Three Lions' long wait for major trophy will continue after suffered an agonising 2-1 defeat against Spain in Berlin.  Nico Williams opened the scoring but Cole Palmer equalised for Gareth Southgate's men before Mikel Oyarzabal's later winner. 

Oyarzabal broke English hearts on Sunday night as he scored an 86th minute goal to win the European Championship final. His Real Sociedad team-mate Merino also scored a critical match-winner against Germany in the quarter-finals. But it appears that was not enough to please fans in the Basque region of the country. Radicals branded the pair as 'traitors' as crossed-out swastika graffiti was left on Oyarzabal's mother's house, El Confidencial reports.

Goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal condemned the Three Lions to a painful loss in Berlin last night and extended their trophy drought to 60 years. In the aftermath, the foreign press delivered a mixed verdict on England's display. French outlet L'Equipe believe Bellingham encapsulated his country's woes, claiming that the superstar will be 'eager to leave' both the result and the tournament behind him. Kane, hauled off on the hour mark after another ineffectual performance, was also placed in the spotlight with L'Equipe, known to be brutal with their ratings, handing him a 3/10.

Teenage sensation Yamal lifted the first major international trophy of his career just a day after his 17th birthday following yesterday's 2-1 victory against England in Berlin. The winger teed up Nico Williams for Spain's opener after some trademark trickery and capped off a spectacular month that has thrust him into the spotlight. Yamal later remained on the pitch long after the confetti-laden celebrations to toast the success and was joined by his partner, student Alex Padilla. The loved-up couple cosied up together and posed for photos with his young player of the tournament trophy, given to him after a series of scintillating displays.

Scottish and Irish fans have brutally mocked England after their devastating 2-1 defeat against Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday. The Three Lions, who have not won a major trophy since the World Cup in 1966, fell short of glory again after Mikel Oyarzabal's 86th-minute winner crowned Spain champions in Berlin. After a tense first half, Nico Williams put England behind shortly after the break until substitute Cole Palmer inspired hope with a superb strike from outside the penalty box in the 73rd minute.

CHRIS SUTTON: I don't think anybody could argue that Spain did not deserve that victory. They had the better of the opportunities, they were the dominant team and were the outstanding team in the tournament. They have been so superior to the rest. It's a good thing for the game that they won this tournament playing the best football. Had England made it over the line it would have been all about the way they had defended, but Spain played the beautiful football and England didn't. In many respects Spain had to do it the hard way on Sunday night, losing their leader Rodri in the middle of the park at half-time, and you worried about them in the second half.

Former Germany and Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann has labelled England's Euro 2024 campaign 'atrocious', following their final defeat by Spain. Gareth Southgate 's side suffered an agonising 2-1 defeat at the Olympiastadion thanks to goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal. The Real Sociedad forward pounced in the 86th minute to hand Spain the trophy for a record fourth time. Luis de la Fuente's outfit were well worth their victory, having dazzled throughout the tournament with purposeful possession and devastating threat on the wings. The same could not be said for the Three Lions, who came in for heavy criticism for their displays before a series of dramatic knockout wins.
