Following Spain's triumph against England in the European Championship, the media was predictably ecstatic.

In a second straight Euro final, England's hearts were shattered as Spain took the trophy in Berlin.

La Roja won the tournament's seven games without the need for penalties, and the country raised the trophy for a record-tying fourth time. Germany and Italy were en route to the championship match. The only winning teams in Europe are France and England, however Gareth Southgate's team had a more fortunate draw.

Spain’s newspapers wasted no time celebrating the occasion.

“The Spanish Armada” declared Marca in its headline, with the subheading declaring: “Spain, righteous champion of the Euro Cup” while declaring Nico Williams the player of the match, Rodri, the best player of the tournament, and Lamine Yamal as the best young player.

AS said: “Glory to Spain, and added: “La Roja wins their fourth Euro Cup with a lesson in integrity and personality.”

El Pais said “Spain reign in Europe”. Mundo Deportivo went for the simple “Campeones” with a split image, the top half showing Spain’s football team, and the other an image of Wimbledon men’s winner Carlos Alcaraz. While Sport, went for one better with “Super Campeones”.

El Mundo chose the headline: “Spain’s madness on the pitch of the Berlin Olympics” and used the quote: “We said from the beginning that we were a great team.”

L’Equipe, the main sports newspaper in France chose the headline: “The new kings of Spain” and the subheading: “Spanish sport also celebrated its national day yesterday: While at Wimbledon Carlos Alcaraz defended his title, the footballers of the “Roja” became Champions of Europe for the fourth time”.

German tabloid newspaper Bild led its front page on Donald Trump, but in the corner went for the simple: “Spain won the pot” with the scoreline underneath.
