Spain defeated Germany 1-0 in the Euro 2008 final this afternoon. A well-deserved win by Spain which played beautiful attacking football throughout the tournament.
The goal came from Liverpool striker Fernando Torres who dominated the first half. Perhaps inspired by the Spanish fans who according to the Telegraph sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" before the game. The article also notes:
It was a glittering goal that echoed another final gem by a Liverpool striker, Kenny Dalglish's elegant chip over the Bruges goalkeeper, Birger Jensen, to win the 1978 European Cup.
After the game was over, Sergio Ramos celebrated in a white no. 16 shirt in tribute to his fellow Sevilla youth system friend Antonio Puerta, who died tragically at the age of 22 after suffering a heart attack during a game last year.
