However, despite being forced off injured at half time, midfield star Rodri Hernandez scooped the Player of the Tournament trophy.

The Manchester City star has been his usual controlled metronomic self in the Spain midfield as they eventually sealed glory.
But the main takeaway story as Spain lifted the trophy, was the Young Player of Euro 2024 award for Lamine Yamal, who laid on an assist for Spain’s opener from Nico Williams.
