Spain is the fourth European champion

Luis de la Fuente's team can do better in the future. Because of the two main players of the team, Lamin Yamal was 17 and Nico Williams was only 22 years old. Between 2008 and 2012, Spain dominated international football.

In the meantime, not only won the Euro title twice, but also won the World Cup title. Then Spanish football suddenly started to go downhill. It barely reached the semi-finals of the 2020 Euro. It was kind of a positive sign. However, in the World Cup 2022, after Spain was defeated by Morocco in the last 16, the weight of football there fell. It was the end of Luis Enrique's tenure as coach and also a sign of a new beginning.

After de la Fuente, Spanish football not only emphasized control over the ball. Strengthened other aspects of the team. Spain still tries to control the ball too much. As he did against France in the semi-final. Now Spain goes straight forward and attacks. After the arrival of players like Williams and Yamal, the opposition defense has become a headache. There has certainly been a change in Spanish football. I don't want to stop at this point.

wants, once again the dominance of Spanish football begins. "We fully deserved to be European champions," says de la Fuente. I feel very proud. I want Spanish football to do much better. There is always room for improvement in a team. This is also our purpose. If this is possible, our players are very good, they are of excellent quality.'

There were also three players from the old golden generation at the Olympic Stadium to watch the new generation play. They were Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and David Villa. They saw with their own eyes that after 12 years Spain had won a major title. But this journey itself was not easy.

Believe it or not, not long ago Spanish football was a laughing stock. He looked at it with a scornful attitude. Spain beat Australia to win the Women's World Cup last August. But the discussion did not become of the winning team. On the contrary, the president of the association, Luis Rubiles, was discussed.

This discussion was not positive. His work created controversy all over the world. The president forcibly kissed player Jenny Harmeso. The same president appointed de la Fuente to replace Enrique. At first, he refused to leave his post. President Rubiles resigned from his position amid controversy and pressure from all sides. The Spanish government also created pressure. The women players started protesting.

At first, de la Fuente supported his president. But later apologized. The same coach also came under heavy criticism after Spain's defeat in the Euro qualifiers against Scotland. However, three months later, Spain won the Nations League. He managed to prove that, at least on the field, Spanish football is heading in the right direction under his leadership. Currently, Spanish football is not only highly dependent on the players of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

In recent times, the Basque presence in Spanish teams has been strong, particularly in Atlético Bilbao and Real Sociedad. Spanish football today is based on planning. As a result, Spain defeated one team at a time in the journey to the title. Spain beat eventual winners Italy, hosts Germany and strong France and England in the decider. Rodri rightly said, 'Our dream has come true, because we are the best team in Europe.'

Spain played without Barcelona midfielder Xavi, because he injured his knee. Spain also played the semi-final and final without Pedro. He was injured in the quarter final against Germany. This fact has become clear, de la Fuente has faith in the current Spanish team. What is more important is that the future of Spanish football is looking good and bright.
