Spain were undoubtedly the best team of the tournament, dominating the entire competition with their relentless possession-based football. However, this outstanding performance was not enough to win the trophy, as England managed to cling on to a 1-0 victory in the final.

It was a final that truly reflected the entire tournament. England struggled at times, especially in the semi-final against Germany, but managed to fight their way to the end. This was not due to clinical finishing or elegant football but rather a resolute defense, rigid structure, and a bit of luck. England trailed for just four minutes across six games, marginally more than Spain's three minutes against their opponents.

The MVP of the tournament, Spain's Aitana Bonmati, summed up this sentiment perfectly, "We have been the best team in the tournament, but we have not been able to win the Euro. The truth is that it hurts not to have been able to win the final, but life goes on and we must learn from our mistakes to continue growing."

England's narrow victory was not without controversy. With less than thirty minutes to go, Keira Walsh was ejected from the pitch after receiving a second yellow card, leaving England with just 10 players. This changed the dynamics of the match entirely and gave Spain a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, Spain was unable to convert any of their ensuing free kicks or corner kicks into goals, reflecting England's broader tactical superiority in crucial moments.
