Spain star Fabian hails Euro U21 grit

Fabian Ruiz cited Spain's togetherness in overcoming adversity as a key factor in their European Under-21 Championship triumph.

Napoli midfielder Fabian scored a fabulous opener against Germany in Sunday's final, before Dani Olmo converted the rebound from another of his long-rangers to set up a 2-1 win.

A classy triumph from Luis de la Fuente's side was a far cry from their opening 3-1 loss to hosts Italy, which left them needing a thumping 5-0 win over Poland in the final group game to progress on goal difference.
