Spain's Historic Triumph: How They Stunned England to Win Euro 2024

Spain has done it again! In a heart-pounding showdown at Berlin's Olympiastadion, La Roja clinched their record-breaking fourth European Championship title by defeating England 2-1. With last-minute drama and rising stars, this final had it all!

Spain Makes History with Dramatic 2-1 Victory Over England to Win Euro 2024

Spain has etched its name in the history books, securing a record-breaking fourth European Championship by edging out England 2-1 in a thrilling Euro 2024 final on Sunday in Berlin.

Morata Leads Spain to Glory

Alvaro Morata triumphantly lifted the Henri Delaunay trophy after an intense match that saw Spain's rising star, Nico Williams, open the scoring minutes into the second half. Williams smartly finished a perfectly-weighted pass from 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal, putting La Roja in the lead.

England's Fightback

England, not to be outdone, equalized midway through the second half with a stunning left-footed strike from Cole Palmer, setting up a nail-biting finale. As the clock ticked down, Mikel Oyarzabal sealed Spain's victory by tapping in an inch-perfect pass from Marc Cucurella, sparking wild celebrations among Spanish fans.

A Record-Breaking Night

Spain's fourth Euro title—following triumphs in 1964, 2008, and 2012—marks a historic achievement. For England, it's heartbreak once again, adding to the pain of their penalty shootout loss to Italy in Euro 2020.

Tense First Half

The final began cautiously, with both teams probing for weaknesses. Spain dominated possession but struggled to create clear-cut chances. England's Phil Foden had the best opportunity just before halftime, but his close-range shot was comfortably saved by Unai Simón.

Second-Half Drama

A major blow for Spain came at halftime when star midfielder Rodri was forced off due to injury. Real Sociedad's Martín Zubimendi stepped in, and just two minutes into the second half, Williams found the net. His goal, at just 22 years and two days old, made him the second youngest scorer in a Euro final.

England's Resilience

England's manager Gareth Southgate made a bold move by substituting captain Harry Kane for Ollie Watkins, who had scored a dramatic semifinal winner. The change injected new energy into England, culminating in Palmer's equalizer from a brilliant Jude Bellingham setup.

Spain's Winning Moment

As extra time loomed, Spain's persistence paid off. Cucurella's precise cross found Oyarzabal, who calmly slotted home the winner. Despite England's late efforts, including a close-range header from Declan Rice, Spain's defense held firm.

Celebration and Recognition

Spain celebrated a well-deserved victory, with Rodri named player of the tournament and Yamal the young player of the tournament. Yamal, who turned 17 just before the final, impressed with four assists and a record-breaking goal against France in the semifinal.

England's Heartbreak

England's 58-year wait for a major men's international trophy continues. King Charles III expressed his support on social media, urging the team to hold their heads high despite the defeat.

"Although victory eluded you tonight, reaching the European Championship final is a significant achievement that fills our nation with pride. We look forward to many triumphs ahead."

A Night to Remember

This Euro 2024 final will be remembered for its drama, young talents, and Spain's historic victory. As La Roja celebrates, the football world eagerly awaits what comes next for these two formidable teams.

Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

Anyone who has already watched Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol would have notice that Mission Impossible 4 is a little bit different from the previous three Mission Impossible(s). I am not sure why there are many critics on Tom Cruise acting, but to me, he is ok. I mean, I know a lot of times, they are saying that Mission Impossible is like talking about himself, but I really beg to differ. Mission Impossible is not really about Tom Cruise alone, I mean he is the leader, he do most of the dangerous work, but behind him is a group of capable secret agents who can support him in all the missions. Anyway, back to Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol. The story started with a chase on a roof in one of a building in Budapest and the agent look so cool when he jumped down and look upwards to shoot the chasers.....but however, was later assassinated by a female assassin. Then we have Ethan Hunt break a prison from Russia with the help of IMF agents and proceed to accept a mission to infi
