Gareth Southgate would\u2019ve been content with his side\u2019s first-half efforts, but the Three Lions failed to build on the momentum gained from Cole Palmer\u2019s equaliser after the break.<\/p>\n<p>Spain came again having been pegged back, and Oyarzabal ghosted into the England box to tap home Marc Cucurella\u2019s cross with less than five minutes left to win the tournament for the impressive Spaniards.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the game unfolded<\/h3>\n<p>There was a slight change to England\u2019s setup compared to pre-match projections, with Southgate reverting to the system deployed without much success during the first four games of the tournament. The back four returned, although Luke Shaw\u2019s inclusion made sure of greater balance.<\/p>\n<p>England were happy to cede territory to Spain, who showed off their ability to control matches in the opening ten minutes through serene possession play and a fierce counter-press which ensured the Three Lions barely made use of the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Southgate\u2019s side did start to gain momentum, though, and it was clear from early on that they wanted to take the final as deep as possible. England took their time at every dead ball, played for set pieces, and often went direct to avoid the Spanish press. This made for a fairly stodgy opening 45 minutes with just a couple of shots on target at both ends, but Southgate would\u2019ve undoubtedly been pleased with his side\u2019s efforts, especially without the ball.<\/p>\n<p>England would\u2019ve been further emboldened by Rodri\u2019s half-time withdrawal, but before they could even fathom the Manchester City man\u2019s exit, they found themselves behind. A slick Spain move was rounded off by Nico Williams after Lamine Yamal had cut inside and found his wing twin.<\/p>\n<p>Luis de la Fuente\u2019s side went through the gears in the aftermath, and England appeared on the ropes. Dani Olmo and Yamal both went close, and Southgate was forced into changes. Entering the final 20 minutes, the Three Lions were still in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, it was a Southgate change who made the difference. Palmer, within minutes of entering the fray, finished superbly from a smart Jude Bellingham lay-off to restore parity from nowhere. England then had a chance to get at their opponents, but they failed to go again despite having all the momentum \u2013 letting Spain off the hook. La Roja asserted control once more, appearing ominous, and with less than five minutes remaining, substitute Oyarzabal tapped home the all-important winner to break English hearts.<\/p>\n<p>There was a late sequence of chaos with Unai Simon parrying Declan Rice\u2019s header into danger, but Dani Olmo was on hand to deny Marc Guehi\u2019s rebound.<\/p>\n<p>Spain masterfully saw out stoppage time to win their fourth European Championship.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_2rugi47mo\">Spain player ratings (4-3-3)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01j2sfhb1ackcyn7cybr.jpg\" alt=\"Spain v England: Final - UEFA EURO 2024\" title=\"Spain v England: Final - UEFA EURO 2024\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Nico Williams opened the scoring in Berlin \/ Crystal Pix\/MB Media\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p><strong>GK: Unai Simon \u2013 7\/10 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Wasn\u2019t a busy night for Simon, but he made the saves he was expected to make while impressing with his distribution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RB: Dani Carvajal \u2013 8\/10 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0A wily operator down the right, Carvajal was lucky to escape an early booking and then rattled a few Englishmen. Barely put a foot wrong defensively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CB: Robin Le Normand \u2013 8\/10 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Another returning defender, Le Normand was superb in the final. Rarely lost out in the air and was cool in possession.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CB: Aymeric Laporte \u2013 8\/10 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Not tested by Harry Kane, and was a threat in the England box. So good with the ball.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LB: Marc Cucurella \u2013 8\/10 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0England did get at him early, but his aggression did subdue Bukayo Saka. Positioning did cause issues when he did venture forward and his ball for the winner was on the money.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CM: Rodri \u2013 7\/10 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>A stunning half-time withdrawal. Rodri\u2019s influence with the ball was limited in the first half, but he was immense out of possession and a key contributor to Spain\u2019s counter-press.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CM: Fabian Ruiz \u2013 8\/10 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0There was no box crashing from Fabian in the final, with the PSG man instead having a great influence in deeper zones. So good to watch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CM: Dani Olmo \u2013 7\/10 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>A crafty mover, but Olmo was limited in Berlin and he spurned a big chance at 1-0. His most crucial intervention came at the death to keep Marc Guehi\u2019s header out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RW: Lamine Yamal \u2013 7\/10 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Shut down by Luke Shaw in the first half, but it was the 17-year-old who teed up Williams\u2019 opener. Missed a couple of big second-half chances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ST: Alvaro Morata \u2013 8\/10 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Morata outperformed his counterpart Harry Kane by a distance in Sunday\u2019s final. Morata\u2019s movement was superb, especially when he darted in behind. Relentless without possession.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LW: Nico Williams \u2013 9\/10 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Produced multiple \u2018wow\u2019 moments with the ball up against Kyle Walker, and his finish for the opener, with his weaker, was as calm as anything.

Walker was an elite-level cornerback playing catch-up with the sharpest of wide receivers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CB: John Stones \u2013 5\/10 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Given the quality he boasts in possession, England needed more from Stones. Not his best outing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CB: Marc Guehi \u2013 7\/10 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Guehi was caught on in behind on a couple of occasions, but the Crystal Palace defender held firm for the most part, especially when defending his box.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LB: Luke Shaw \u2013 7\/10 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0England\u2019s standout performer in the opening period, Shaw didn\u2019t lose a duel with Yamal.

Set-piece delivery was inconsistent, but role without the ball shouldn\u2019t go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LM: Jude Bellingham \u2013 6\/10 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Shifted out the left, Bellingham got through a lot of work without the ball and he tried his utmost to have an impact.
