Spain men’s national football team are heading back to the country this morning (15 July), after securing their Euros victory against England.

The players will meet with the Spanish prime minister after landing at Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas airport, before heading out on an extravagant parade on the streets of Madrid to celebrate.

An 86th-minute goal from Mikel Oyarzabal helped the team lift the trophy, after part of the game saw them neck-and-neck with England.

Cole Palmer helped England equalise in the 73rd minute following a goal from Nico Williams shortly into the second-half, however, it wasn’t enough in the end.

Gareth Southgate has refused to discuss his future at England, and has admitted that conversations will be taking place “behind the scenes”.

Nonetheless, the manager insisted the team had done and “incredible” job to get to the final.

Over 50,000 England fans travelled to Berlin for the game, while Spain took 11,500 supporters over.
