- Euro 2008
: Won Russia 4-1,
Won Sweden 2-1

As mentioned, Spain are the only team to have done so twice, while France (1984) and Italy (2020) have also won back-to-back tournaments, though only once each.
Meanwhile, Spain are the only ยูฟ่าเบท team to have won seven consecutive games at the Euro finals without relying on luck in a single penalty shootout.
Furthermore, the 15 goals scored by Luis de la Fuente’s men on German soil are the most ever scored, breaking the record of 14 set by France’s Euro 1984 winning side.
European Milk Teeth Champion
He started the tournament carrying his homework with him as instructed by his teacher, before setting a record as the youngest player ever to enter the field at the age of 16 years and 338 days in the opening group game, defeating Croatia 3-0.
Scored against France, becoming the youngest player to score in a Euro, aged 16 years and 362 days.
He also shared the title with Spain in a 1-0 win over England, with the record for the youngest player to start a final at 17 years and one day, as well as making an assist.
Furthermore, the 17-year-old is the first Spanish player to have four assists in a Euro final.
Therefore, it is completely appropriate for the UEFA EURO 2024 Young Player of the Tournament award.
Top scorer (too)
He may not have been the standout player in the final, but he was a consistent performer and a dangerous second-row threat that England would struggle to deal with.
In the end, Dani Olmo was also one of the “Top Scorers of Euro 2024” with 3 goals, equal to Harry Kane, Georges Mikotadze, Jamal Musiala, Cody Gakpo and Ivan Schranz.
But in fact, if UEFA used the old counting method, Olmo, who scored 3 goals and made 2 assists, would be the only one who would get the Golden Boot award and go home to hug it.
- And here is Olmo in Euro 2024:
6 games,
431 minutes,
3 goals,
17 shots,
2 assists,
84.5% on target.
Oh, and a crucial header from the line denied England a late equaliser at the Olympiastadion.
