OLIVER HOLT: England were left empty-handed on Sunday night as goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal saw La Roja claim a record-fourth European Championship. But as the dust starts to settle on the defeat, Mail Sport's Oliver Holt takes his through his memories of Euro 2024 from Cole Palmer's baked beans to Jude Bellingham's belligerence. Best player: Rodri. Everyone knows how good he is, everyone knows that sides tend not to lose matches when he is in their starting XI and everyone knew that if he took the level of his performances for Manchester City into this tournament, then few could rival him. He did that. He was surrounded by other great players, but he and Fabian Ruiz were the core of the Spain team that swept through the tournament. He set the tempo. He enabled all that went on around him. He was without equal.

Wiegman, who led the Lionesses to glory at Euro 2022 , also lost the 2019 World Cup final with the Netherlands before last summer's heartache. 'It takes about three weeks, it took me three weeks (after the World Cup defeat to Spain) to get over it,' Wiegman said. 'It's very hard, especially if you have given anything and you don't win. It can always go both ways, there is an opponent that wants to win too and has their qualities, but when you have given it everything it is really, really disappointing.'
