On June 25th, the final round of Group B in the European Championship concluded with Spain securing a 1-0 victory over Albania. This win, coupled with their previous victories, gave Spain a perfect record of three wins and nine points, solidifying their place at the top of the group and securing their spot in the round of 16. This marks the second time in Spanish history that they have achieved a flawless group stage performance in the European Championship, the last time being in 2008.
In this tournament, the “Matador” Spanish team has returned to peak form, showcasing impressive performance. They opened the group stage with a resounding 3-0 victory over Croatia, followed by consecutive 1-0 wins against Italy and Albania. They have scored five goals while remaining undefeated, displaying their exceptional competitive spirit.
This is only the second time Spain has achieved a perfect group stage run in the European Championship. The first time dates back to 2008. In the 2008 European Championship group stage, Spain opened with a convincing 4-1 win over Russia, followed by a 2-1 victory over Sweden and a final 2-1 triumph against Greece. In that tournament, Spain ultimately emerged victorious, lifting the trophy. This victory marked the beginning of a golden era for Spain, as they went on to win the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championship, achieving a remarkable feat of winning three major tournaments in five years. They established a “Spanish Dynasty” that etched their names in football history.
