La Roja had now equalled the competition records of winning all seven of their games at a major tournament; also Brazil at the FIFA World Cup 2002 and Qatar at the AFC Asian Cup 2019. . Spain had now created a new competition record of scoring 15 goals at a UEFA European Championship tournament; previously 14 by France in at Euro 1984. . Aged 17 years and one day, Lamine Yamal had now become the youngest-ever player to appear in the final of a major tournament; previously Brazil’s Pelé against Sweden at the 1958 FIFA World Cup (aged 17 years and 249 days). . Aged 63 year and 23 days, Luis de la Fuente became the oldest manager to take charge of a team in a UEFA European Championship final since Spain’s Luis Aragonés at Euro 2008 (69 years and 337 days). . Spain named 13 of a possible 15 substitutes.

Comments:

At Euro 2024, at the 24th attempt, this was England’s first-ever overseas final at a major tournament. . They had been the first team in UEFA European Championship history to reach a final after going behind in both the quarter-final and semi-final. . England had now become the first nation to lose consecutive finals at UEFA European Championship tournaments. . The Three Lions had now reached more major tournament finals in four attempts under manager Gareth Southgate (two) than they did in their 23 appearances at the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship tournaments (one) prior to his appointment. Excluding replays, he became the third manager to take charge of more than one UEFA European Championship final after Germany’s Helmut Schön in 1972 and 1976 and Berti Vogts in 1992 and 1996. . Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, Luke Shaw and Cole Palmer were now the only players to score for England in the final of a major tournament.
