On July 15, in the Euro final, Spain triumphed over England with a 2-1 victory to clinch the title. Spain has thus become the only team in the 21st century with a 100% win rate in both World Cup and continental cup finals.
Since the turn of the century, Spain has reached the finals of major tournaments four times: they defeated Germany 1-0 in the 2008 Euros; they overcame the Netherlands 1-0 in the 2010 World Cup; they trounced Italy 4-0 in the 2012 Euros to lift the trophy. This year, after defeating England 2-1 in the Euros, Spain lifted the European Championship trophy again after a 12-year gap.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, six teams have been crowned World Cup champions: Brazil in 2002, Italy in 2006, Spain in 2010, Germany in 2014, France in 2018, and Argentina in 2022. Apart from Spain, all other teams have experienced defeat in either a World Cup or continental cup final. Spain is the sole team that, since this century, has maintained a 100% win rate in World Cup and continental cup finals.
