JAKARTA - Spain successfully won Euro 2024 after beating England with a score of 2-1 in the final match at Olympias Stadium, Berlin, Monday, July 15, 2024.
La Roja is not just a crown. A record and a slick travel story are proof that Spain deserves to be crowned king of the Euros.
The Matador team is the country that collects the most Euro trophies, namely four (1964, 2008, 2012, and 2024). The first time in history.
Germany only packed three titles, even before entering 2000 (1972, 1980, and 1996). Italy (1968 and 2020) and France (1984 and 2000) are under it with two trophies.

However, who would have thought, apart from winning the Euros, Spain has also set a new record in the history of the biggest tournament in the Blue Continent since it was first held in 1958.
The first flashy record was that La Roja became the first team to win all matches (seven matches) to win the Euros.
The winning record is getting better because it is polished with 15 goals which are again history.
Previously, the team's most goals in one edition of the Euros were held by France (14 goals) when they won the 1984 edition.
That's just a team achievement. Shifting to the matter of individuals, Spain has Lamine Yamal.
He broke the record for the youngest player at the Euros when he started Spain vs Croatia, La Roja's opening match in Europe's biggest tournament. Yamal at that time was only 16 years old 338 days old.
The Barcelona player continued to shine. When he broke into the French goal in the semifinals, Yamal was named the youngest goalscorer in Euro history at the age of 16 years and 362 days.
Yamal's presence on the list left a record Swiss striker, Johan Vonlanthen, at Euro 2004 at the age of 18.
It hasn't stopped there. Yamal became the youngest player to appear in the Euro final, one day after celebrating his 17th birthday.
Done at Yamal, Spain still has Nico Williams. His goal which opened Spain's advantage over England made his name included in the list of the youngest goalscorers at the Euros.
Williams, who scored at 22 years old and only lost to Pietro Anastasi (Italy) for two days. He scored in the 1968 Euro final.
The row of slick Spanish achievements made the coach, Luis de la Fuente, proud of his team.
"I am very happy. We are a true team, European champions. I am increasingly proud of them from day to day. Thank you for the support from all over Spain," he said.
Spain are increasingly showing its feasibility after seeing their journey to winning Euro 2024.
Their steps are not easy. La Roja had to pass three world champions, namely Italy (group phase), Germany (quarter-finals), and France (semi-finals), before winning the Euro 2024 title.
Conquering the three giants - not only Europe but also the world - made Spain worthy of the title of the giant conquest.
As is known, the three countries have more collections of World Cup titles than Spain.
Germany has packed four World Cup trophies (1954, 1974, 1990, and 2014). Italy is also three years old with four titles (1934, 1938, 1982, and 2006). Finally, France with two World Cup champions (1998 and 2018).
Bahkan, Inggris yang ditekuk di final pun terbilang masih dalam daftar tim besar dunia meski trofi Jules Rimet milik mereka sama dengan Spanyol, yaitu satu buah.
