The English national football team was defeated in the final of the European Championship by Spain with a score of 2-1. This is the second consecutive loss for England in the final matches of the European Championship.

Three years ago at Wembley, Italy was better after penalties, and now Spain has stopped England on their way to the trophy. Spain took the lead with a goal by Nico Williams in the 47th minute. Cole Palmer equalized for England in the 73rd minute. The final score of 2-1 for Spain’s fourth title in the best national teams competition of the Old Continent was set by Mikel Oyarzabal in the 86th minute of the match.

After the match, the English captain Harry Kane addressed the media.

“It’s hard to describe how everyone feels right now. It was a very tough match. We came back into the game well and were looking for a win. Conceding a goal in the final minutes is really hard to accept,” Kane said, adding:

“We struggled in the first half. We couldn’t keep the ball. The second half was better, but we didn’t manage it. We missed a great opportunity. It’s not easy to reach the final, and when you get there, you have to take advantage of it. We didn’t. This is incredibly painful and it will hurt for a long time. I don’t know if Gareth will leave. He needs time to decide. We wanted to win the title for him.”
