BERLIN — Spain looked to have suffered a major blow when Rodri went off with an unspecified injury at halftime in the European Championship final against England on Sunday. But fears of a second-half drop in intensity were put to rest when Nico Williams scored soon after the break, then substitute Mikel Oyarzabal scored late for Spain to win 2-1 and claim its fourth European title. Rodri says "You only have to see the family we have built." He added: "Today we are champions of Europe and we're not going to stop here." He called it the best day of his career after he was presented with the player of the tournament award.
