Spain wins the Euro 2008 championship
and makes it a perfect Euro 2008

Spain ended what has to be said “a perfect Euro 2008 campaign” with a 1-0 victory over Germany in the Euro 2008 final, in the Ernst Happel Stadion, Vienna, Austria. It took a 33 minute strike from Liverpool’s EL Nino, Fernando Torres to give Spain their first major title in 44 years.

The game started slowly but the Spanish were characteristic in maintaining majority of the possession but never made any major in rodes in the German defense. Germany came into their own with some teasing crosses but no real chance on goal.

On the 33 minute mark; Torres out ran Germany’s left back Phillip Lahm to win a ball that was not supposed to be his and staired his shot over the onrushing Jens Lehmann, to make it 1-0 to Spain at half time.

The second half did not produce much excitement as it seemed Spain was content with their 1-0 lead. The Germanys tried relentlessly to find the equalizer but all their efforts proved futile. It was not be for Michael Ballack and Germany. Ballack who has never won a major final in his career, has lost the second final in this year following his club Chelsea’s loss to Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League final in May.

It has indeed been a very disappointing career for the German # 13 who either not featured in the final for his team or lose the final when he plays. Maybe its his #?

Spain are Euro 2008 Champions and it must be said they have been the most consistent team in the Euros as well as the only undefeated team in the competition.
