Southgate names Spain as best team in tournament after England defeat
Spain were the best team at the European Championship, England manager Gareth Southgate said after the defeat in the final. His words are quoted on the UEFA website.
“Congratulations to Spain. I thought they were the best team in the tournament and they were the best team today. Our biggest problem was that we didn’t use the ball well enough. We actually defended very well in the first half as a team, but when we won the ball we often couldn’t get through their counter-pressure,” he said.
At the same time, Southgate refused to speculate on the topic of his possible resignation.
In the decisive match, Spain defeated England with a score of 2:1. The match took place at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. The first goal was scored by midfielder Nico Williams in the 47th minute. In the 73rd minute, midfielder Cole Palmer equalized the score. In the 86th minute, midfielder Mikel Oyarzabal scored a goal. Spain won the European Championship for the fourth time in its history.
