And this time too, Football is not coming Home. Despite the admonitions of the case, England loses a European final once again. A real curse for Southgate’s men who had to succumb to the spower of Spain, inlast match of Euro 2024, which then ended with the result 2-1.
In the most exciting night, within the walls of the Olympiastadion of Berlin, the ones who shone brightest of all were the Spanish stars, players who not only demonstrated a talent at the limit of the imaginable, but who did not lack character, determination and above all that enthusiasm necessary to KO the Three Lions. The golden generation of Red he seized the opportunity to bring a trophy back to the trophy cabinet, silencing all the skeptics of that way of playing football often considered hasty and pretentious.

But with the demonstration of that football, of those flashes of Tiki Taka, De La Fuente’s Spain he built his own path to Berlin, game after game. A completely different path instead from that ofSouthgate’s England which in addition to the “names” seems to have failed to put anything else into play.
Spain triumphs: Yamal and Nico Williams already legends
Yamal and Nico Williams have their names imprinted on the scoreboard, with an assist and a goal that broke the deadlock. And then, to dampen Cole Palmer’s enthusiasm, came the goal from Oyarzabal, one of the pillars of the Spanish national team. The two common threads of Red, experience and freshness, have managed to come together in a single objective which is that of victory.
Obviously, praise must also be given to De La Fuente, who by pampering his stars, managed to convey trust and conviction to those players who will be the future of Spain for several years.

However, it is not just the four-time European champions that should be praised, and in fact, the drop in concentration of some elements, Cucurella number one suspect, gave all the English fans hope for a late turnaround. Rodri’s injury then complicated the teams’ tactical plans, at least for a moment Red Furies. The aggressiveness upon returning from the locker room did the rest. All the pieces fell into place with the entry of Zubamendi, with Olmo and Oyarzabal then taking over to close the matter.
The decline of England
Second defeat in the second European Championship final achieved in recent years and a trauma that will inevitably lead to England to find solutions in the short term. Too many stars and all together under the guidance, at times not too sure of coach Southgate, who, unlike De La Fuente, was unable to convey the same enthusiasm to his riders.

And in matches like these, tactical errors become unforgivable, such as those of Harry Kane, totally absent in what could have been the right opportunity to put the coveted trophy on the board and which could have crowned his important, but incredibly unfortunate career.
Also absent is Foden, another meteor of this Euro 2024 and Jude Bellingham himself who demonstrated the limitations of a player who is still not completely ready and mature on a tactical and above all character level. Important differences therefore between the two national teams who rewarded the Spanish dedication in the 90′.
