Regarding the loss in the final, Southgate said, “I’m proud of my players; they gave everything for this big tournament. Spain performed better than us, and their displays throughout the entire tournament were outstanding. We had some issues on both the attacking and defensive ends, and ultimately these mistakes cost us the game. I thank the fans for their support; in this European Championship, we gave them many wonderful nights, but it’s a great pity that we couldn’t secure the title.”
In this European Championship, although England’s performance was somewhat criticized, they still made their way through to the final, which helped to turn public opinion in favor of Southgate.
