Spain have been comfortably the best team over the last month in Germany and were not intimidated by the atmosphere at the Olympiastadion, where the majority of the crowd were given over to England's cause.
England had hoped to finally claim a first men's international title since their fabled victory at the 1966 World Cup, but fell just short in their first ever final on foreign soil.
After the agony of their defeat on penalties to Italy three years ago in Euro 2020, they are the first side ever to lose back-to-back Euros finals.
