The Spanish men’s football team won its fourth Euro Cup title on Sunday by beating England in the final of the 2024 edition in Germany. It was a party all over Spain and everyone celebrated, although some with Athletic, in their own way.
Spain lifted the fifth major trophy in its history, while coach Luis de la Fuente completed his own continental treble and Jesús Navas said goodbye with a third title. The victory at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin allowed Spain to become the most successful team in the Old Continent in this tournament, with four victories, one more than Germany, and twice as many as France and Italy, all of these teams that fell to ‘La Roja’ on their way to glory in the German capital. The national team added this success to those achieved in 1964, with a 2-1 victory over the USSR, in 2008, 1-0 over Germany, and in 2012, 4-0 over Italy, to now have five major titles in their trophy cabinet, along with the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. In addition, they have become the absolute queen of Europe, as last year they also won the Nations League on penalties against Croatia, and will have the option of lifting another one next year in the new ‘Finalissima’, in which they will face the champions of the Copa América.
The national team has made a country happy, also in the Basque Country, where Athletic, where Nico Williams, Unai Simon and Vivian play, has congratulated Spain, but in its own way. Well, it has congratulated its players and without putting on a shirt or a Spanish flag.
The responses have made it very clear that Athletic’s intention, by posting the photos with their club’s shirt and not with those of the national team, was to send a message.
