England’s quest for a first major men’s trophy since 1966 continues after substitute Mikel Oyarzabal scored late to give Spain a 2-1 victory in the Euro 2024 final, marking a second consecutive European Championship final defeat for Gareth Southgate’s team.
Three years ago, England faced a heartbreaking shootout loss in their bid for glory, and this time, despite rallying with a superb equalizer from substitute Cole Palmer, they couldn’t overcome Spain’s dominance. Nico Williams’ early second-half goal and Oyarzabal’s late strike sealed the win for Spain, leaving England’s players devastated at the final whistle.
Despite showing resilience, with Marc Guehi’s effort cleared off the line and several late chances, England couldn’t alter the course of the game. The defeat marked a bitter end to Southgate’s potentially final match in charge, with Spain celebrating their fourth European Championship title.
This loss echoes the disappointment of 2021, where England also fell short in the final moments, reflecting on missed opportunities and the enduring quest for international glory.
