On July 10th, Spain defeated France 2-1 in the European Championship semi-finals, marking their 4th entry into the finals of both the European Championship and the World Cup in the 21st century. In their previous 3 appearances in the final, Spain has emerged victorious, boasting a 100% win rate.
In the 2008 European Championship, Spain fought their way through to the final, ultimately defeating Germany 1-0 to claim the trophy. This victory marked the beginning of the Spanish dynasty.
In the 2010 World Cup, Spain secured a spot in the final through a series of economical 1-0 victories in the knockout rounds. After an intense 120-minute battle against the Netherlands, Iniesta scored the winning goal, securing a 1-0 victory for Spain and their first ever World Cup title.
In the 2012 European Championship, Spain once again sailed smoothly into the final. In the final match, they emphatically defeated Italy 4-0, successfully defending their title and achieving a remarkable feat of three titles in five years, solidifying their position as a true powerhouse in football history.
However, after this peak, Spain entered a period of decline. Only now, at this year’s European Championship, has Spain returned to the final, once again vying for the coveted title.
