SPAIN STRIKE LATE TO END ENGLAND HOPES
Substitute Mikel Oyarzabal came off the bench to fire Spain to a record fourth European Championship victory with a merited 2-1 Euro 2024 win over a battling but limited England side in Berlin.
Oyarzabal slid home the winner from Marc Cucurella's pass on 86 minutes to consign Gareth Southgate's England to a second successive heartbreaking defeat in European finals after their Euro 2020 penalty loss to Italy at Wembley. Read more here:

THERE GOES THE FINAL WHISTLE!
Spain are the European champions! They are the first country to become four-time European winners. Well deserved in the end. Seven wins out of seven at Euro 2024. Brilliant from Spain, heartache for England, who fought so hard, but their 58-year wait for a major trophy continues beyond Berlin this evening.

AND SAKA IS PENALISED OUT WIDE
Deemed to be late on Marc Cucurella out wide, and Spain can clear the danger from deep inside their own half. So close to the title now.

SPAIN CLEARING OFF THEIR LINE
Simon blocks the header by Rice before the header by Guéhi is off the line by Olmo and Rice then nods over. So, so close to an equaliser for England late on. Four minutes added in Berlin.

PICKFORD TO THE RESCUE FOR ENGLAND
Brilliant passing play by Spain to cut open the white shirts. Williams so, so dangerous. Ball breaks to Yamal, whose shot is repelled well by Pickford. Was a decent height for the England keeper. Straight at him.

ENGLAND BACK IN THE TRENCHES
Southgate's side are back deep in their own half, but doing well to cut down the time and space Spain have got. Can England unearth another dramatic late winner?

SPAIN EARN A CORNER
Stones with a timely headed clearance from the Williams cross. Ruiz can't control the corner as he prepared a volley and England thump the ball out of their own box.

A THIRD GOAL MIGHT WIN IT NOW
Thought one might be enough for either side, but could a third settle it? England fans certainly coming to life in Berlin. Spain trying to settle matters down.
75'
ENGLAND STARTING TO FIND BELIEF
The changes made by Southgate really altering the mood music in this final in Berlin. England really moving the ball about with some zip and pace at the moment. Game right in the balance.

BRILLIANT STOP BY PICKFORD
Spain looking to display some menace on the counter attack as Lamal sees a shot tipped wide by Pickford. Brilliant piece of goalkeeping. And England deal well with the corner to clear the danger.

WATKINS LOOKING TO GO IN BEHIND
Ball over the top is trying to pick out the run of Watkins, but Robin Le Normand is doing enough to ensure he can't wriggle free. Better moments from England.

FODEN SLIDES OVER THE FREE-KICK
But the set-piece is cleared by a rash of red shirts before Bellingham drags a shot wide from distance under pressure from a few Spain players seconds later. Excellent by Foden and Bellingham, but Simon again not worked in goal.
