Barcelona’s largest contingent at Euro 2024 can call themselves European Champions as Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Ferran Torres and Fermín López’s Spain beat England 2-1 on Sunday’s memorable Final in Berlin to claim their third Euros title in the last 16 years and become the first country to win the tournament four different times. After a cagey first half the game became a spectacle in the second period, and Spain’s remarkable run in Germany ends with a deserved title after seven wins in seven games.
