GERMANY vs SPAIN
And then there was one.
Spain finally overcame the ghost of glory that has deserted them for 44 years with a slender but deserved 1-0 win against a poor German team, distinctly 2nd best throughout the match.
Torres scored just after the half hour mark but the contest was far from a major specatcle other than that consistent Germany put up another dogged display with nothing else to offer.
Germany will be asking many questions of themselves, mainly as to how the attacking verve of the last World Cup had failed to materialise this time around, and ensuring they have definitely taken some major steps backward.
Spain will be proud of being European champions, knowing they have fully deserved every single accolade and compliment dished out to them. Such is the praise specially reserved for worthy champions.
