Spain’s incredible Euro 2024 title win has been capped off with a double player award win.
La Roja had to show real grit in the closing stages of the final in Berlin, as Mikel Oyarzabal came off the bench to score the winning goal.
It was a night of nerves for Spain in the German capital, with the team battling back to end England’s hopes of a first ever European title.
However, despite being forced off injured at half time, midfield star Rodri Hernandez scooped the Player of the Tournament trophy.
