Spain on Sunday night thwarted England’s hope of winning the European Championship after a long time following their final day 2-1 victory.
Spain’s win ensured that they won the tournament a record fourth time.
Real Sociedad striker Mikel Oyarzabal turned home in the 86th minute after Nico Williams sent Spain ahead early in the second half. Earlier, England substitute Cole Palmer pulled the Three Lions level.
England almost equalised at the death but Dani Olmo headed Marc Guehi’s effort off the line to safety.
Spain paraded a mix of advanced and youngsters who went all the way in the tournament, winning seven matches in all.
The final result means England have lost the European Championship finals back-to-back.
There was no third place play or winner as the organisers had abolished the position.
