Spain crowned Euro champs… again

 

The greatest teams always peak at exactly the right time, and Spain did just that by beating Italy 4-0 to win the Euro 2012 trophy.

Vicente del Bosque's side had struggled to get their fast-flowing game into top gear earlier in the tournament but it all clicked beautifully into place against Italy in Sunday's final in Kiev.
