Once again, England will not make it to the European Football Championship. The Three Lions lost 2-1 to Spain in the final. This is what the international media wrote about the final.
Spain:
“AS“: “Kings of Europe again.”
“Brand“: “The fourth is already here. We are European champions again.”
“World Sports“: “Champions! Spain are crowned and achieve their fourth European title. La Roja are deserved European champions and usher in a new era of football.”
“Sports“: “Spain has taken the European crown for the fourth time. And surpassed Germany.”
“The Vanguard“: “Spain wins the European Championship and is the invincible team. It has taken a decade for Spanish football to produce another golden generation. After just over ten years, the blink of an eye in elite sport, the national team has once again thrilled an entire country.”

“The Mirror“: “So close… and yet so far. England lose the European Championship in the last minutes of the historic final.”
“The Sun“: “Three Lions suffer renewed heartbreak as Southgate and his heroes fall at the final hurdle.”

Italy:
“The Sports Newspaper“: “Spain on the roof of Europe. Williams and Oyarzabal end the English dream. England’s curse continues. “It’s coming home” – and how. Está volviendo a casa. Spain is European champion for the fourth time.”
“The Sera Corriere“: “The night in Berlin is that of Spain with Nico Williams, Yamal, Oyarzabal and Luis de la Fuente, who has created an armoured cruiser in one year. Another disappointment for England.”
“Tuttosport“: “Record triumph: Spain is European champion for the fourth time. England loses the second European Championship final in a row, Harry Kane’s curse continues: He must continue to wait to lift the first trophy of his career into the sky.”
