ITALY Vs SPAIN
As expected the European champions Spain defeated Italy in the Euro final; The Defending champions (Spain) crushed their opponent in an unexpected but most lopsided victory in the tournament history.

The one sided final was a directed response to critics who called Spanish style of play boring at Euro 2012, and were even booed in the game against Portugal because of their too many passes.
Playing a Spanish side with eleven players is enough tasks, but the Italians endured this huge task with 10 men after 64th minute of play. This is as a result having exhausted all substitutes and substitute Thiago Motta, who had only been on the field for seven minutes was taken off due to injury.
This victory has made the Spanish football National winners of record three straight major titles, Euro 2008, World Cup 2010.

“You could tell right away that they were fresher physically, we didn’t have time to recuperate, especially against players like these. It became very difficult to come back from 2 goals down” said Italy coach Cesare Prandelli.
