| Spain are European Champions - again! (getty images) |
Well, Spain have done it again. As the first team to win three major tournaments in a row, they annihilated Italy. After David Silva's header in the 14th minute, Spain were off never to be caught again. A second goal before half time by Jordi Alba all but sealed Italy's fate. With Balotelli having a bad day again (why did he have to have his good day against Germany?) and reduced to 10 men after their final substitute Motta got injured, Italy fought, but Spain dominated with superior technique and quick passing leading to two more goals by Fernando Torres and Juan Mata.
Fantástico!
The party in Spain celebrating their continuing football supremacy over Europe will last for days to come!

Follow this link to have a look at Spiegel Online for the best pictures of the tournament (and practise your German trying to understand the captions!). Some pics look more like a wrestling match or Kung-Fu Panda...
