In 2010, they won the South African tournament. They were so strong that they could completely keep out the powerhouses of the time, such as England and Germany. It was made up of La Liga and Premier League mainstays such as Xavi Hernández, Fernando Torres, Iker Casillas, Carles Puyol, David Silva and Sergio Ramos.

EURO2008

Euro 2008 was Spain’s second victory in 11 tournaments. In this tournament, the golden midfield of Iniesta, Silva, and Cesc was overwhelming, and they continued to overwhelm their opponents with their passing. Although we had a tough time against Italy, we dominated the rest of the games from start to finish. The coach was Luis Aragonés, who had decided to retire after this tournament, so it was a great finale.

EURO2012

Under Del Bosque’s regime, they entered the Euros as World Cup champions, and their consecutive victory was at stake. Their attack is based on quick passing while repeatedly changing positions, and they are the same as the team that won the World Cup, with main players from Real Madrid and Barcelona as main players, so their coordination is also better than other teams. I was saying that. They defeated Italy in the final and achieved the consecutive victory.
