Spain have secured their fourth European Championship title with a 2-1 win over England in the final on Sunday evening.
A noticeable change from England saw Luke Shaw given a maiden start of the tournament and replaced Kieran Trippier, while Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand were back from suspension and restored by La Roja following the semi-final victory over France.
Highly-rated teen sensation Lamine Yamal aimed to give the Spaniards a strong opening barely two minutes in, but a block from Declan Rice prevented him.
Le Normand aimed to better minutes later after meeting a knockdown from Rodri following Inaki Williams' floated corner, but the effort rolled wide of the mark.
The Three Lions struggled to get going in the opening stages, although had a lot of the ball in forward areas where Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane looked to unlock Spain.
As the match remained tense all-round, neither side were able to get a clear sight on goal and concluded the first period goalless.

La Roja introduced a change before the second period, with Rodri sacrificed after picking up a knock and Martin Zubimendi brought on the field of play.
It worked in their favour two minutes from halftime when good work out wide from Yamal led to a cutback to the box for Williams to drill home and give La Roja the lead.
Williams looked to switch-up the roles a little later and played in Dani Olmo on the edge of the box, but the latter fired well wide.
England battled to find any rhythm and introduced the semi-final hero Ollie Watkins in place of Kane before Cole Palmer came on Kobbie Mainoo in hope of a comeback.
The arrivals proved pivotal where an off-balance Bellingham managed to nudge a loose ball into the path of Palmer to apply a powerful first-time finish from just outside the box.
However, La Roja got back in front in the final four minutes when Mikel Oyarzabal made a timeous run to the area and finished off Marc Cucurella's assist.
Spain did live on the edge in added time and a goal-line clearance from Olmo denied Ivan Toney before Unai Simon repelled Rice's header, as La Roja laid claim to the title for a record fourth time.
