Mikel Oyarzabal struck Spain's Euro 2024 final winner against England on Sunday but La Roja's triumph was inspired from start to finish by explosive wingers Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal.

Yamal became the youngest ever Euros goalscorer at 16 in the semi-final triumph over France with a brilliant long-range effort and was named young player of the tournament after Spain's triumph.

"This is the best (birthday) present I could have, it's a dream," said Yamal after winning the first trophy of his short career.
