Manchester City star player Rodri recently won his first major trophy with his nation. After winning the Euro 2024, Rodri praised former Manchester City player and England international Cole Palmer for his performance at the international level with England. After beating England, the Spaniard came to the media and talked about his former teammate Cole Palmer and also praised his recent performance.
Spain again hit the summit of any major tournament after the absence of 12 years. The last time they won a major tournament was back in 2012 when they won the Euro. So after more than a decade, the Spanish team achieved something in the major tournament. Spain midfielder Rodri is very happy about this achievement. Although the Spaniard completed his trophy cabinet due to his brilliant performance at the club level, this trophy is something to him.
Well, the final wasn’t easy for Luis de la Fuente’s side. Although Spain took the lead after two minutes starting of the second half thanks to the goal of Nico Williams, the Chelsea forward Cole Palmer brought England back into the game after scoring a beautiful goal in the 73rd minute of the match. But it was Spain’s domination throughout the game and they achieved the expected result, thanks to Oyarzabal’s goal four minutes before the normal time. After the game, Rodri praised his former teammate Cole Palmer for his performance.
England lost back-to-back Euro final after losing the tournament last time around against Italy in the final in 2020. The three Lions scored several last-minute goals in this tournament and also scored goals after conceding one. The final wasn’t different, after conceding the opening goal, England were back in the game thanks to Cole Palmer’s goal. But it was Spain who had the final say. Heartbreaking for the Three Lions, as their run continues without a trophy in the major tournament since 1966.
