Pitchside, moments after Spain 3 Switzerland 2.

As I leave Berlin - the city of Jesse Owens, David Bowie and now Lamine Yamal - I’m recording this final report from Euro 2024, where I have been embedded once more with the Spain team.

I saw the treble winners of 2008-12 up close too, and they may not have a prime Iniesta or Xavi, but in their own way I think this team is just as good.

Some of them spoke to me after the final, and what a joyful, brotherly bunch they are. The trophy is in good hands.
