Spain boss Luis de la Fuente is already looking to the future following their Euro 2024 title win.
La Roja held off a late England challenge to secure a first European title since 2012 as Mikel Oyarzabal snatched a winner in Berlin.
On a night of nerves in the German capital, Spain showed the grit they needed, particularly to react to England’s equaliser.
De la Fuente was delighted at full time as he praised his players for getting over the line in the Olympiastadion.
He was clear in his estimation of Spain now being the world’s No.1 team and claimed there is still more to come ahead of 2026 World Cup qualification.
