Spain's players celebrate victory as Germany's midfielder Torsten Frings walks by after the Euro 2008 championships final between Germany and Spain in Vienna, Austria, on June 29, 2008. A first-half goal from Fernando Torres earned Spain the first UEFA European Championship in 44 years
Then, in the 89th minute, came the last moment of controversy. The Spanish defense failed to clear a long ball and Gomez managed to feed Schweinsteiger. The latter would certainly have scored, but the referee had blown for a foul on Marchena. It was a marginal decision - even in the replays it was difficult to see an offence, but it would have been a cruel injustice on the Spanish to have lost their lead at that late stage.
They played out the additional time in safety, and as the final whistle blew a deafening roar of relief and triumph enveloped the ground. The coaches' and substitutes' benches emptied, and the players charged over the stadium hoardings to celebrate with their fans, demanding Spanish flags to wrap themselves in.
The victory was justified to the best team on the day and the best team over the two-week competition. The forty-four year old bogey had finally been laid to rest, but there would be little rest for the Spanish fans, who would celebrate their longed-for victory all through the night

Spain Euro 2008 Champions

Thirty minutes earlier the final had kicked off with the Spanish fans hoping for the best, and yet on the basis of past failures, fearing the worst. Spain were the form team – a convincing semi-final victory over the talented Russians in the face of a German side who knew that they had been fortunate to come through against Turkey.
But for the first few minutes of the match, it seemed that Spanish fears might be justified. Germany took hold of play immediately, moving forward with purpose and no little skill and opening the renowned Spanish defense with confident one-touch passing. As early as the third minute they had their first chance, when a slip by Sergio Ramos offered Klose an opportunity. He burst into the Spanish box but did not control the ball.
Sergio Ramos had been outstanding against Russia, but now he was undergoing a torrid start. It was down the German left flank that most of their attacks were coming. A minute later another neat move gave Lahm an opening in the box, but again Germany failed to capitalize. In the seventh minute it was Ballack who broke through, again down the left, and from the bye-line he chipped a cross over Iker Casillas and across the face of the goal. It was an inviting opportunity that found no takers.
This was a much better German side than we had seen to date, and it seemed that they were well up for the match. The Spaniards, in contrast, were tentative and lacked composure, reduced to sending long balls up to the isolated Torres who could make nothing of them. Would they fight back, or would they fold?
Another minute, and this time it was Thomas Hitzlsperger who was teed up outside the box to the left. His shot was firm and well-directed, but more was needed to beat Casillas from that range, and the Spanish keeper saved comfortably. Astonishingly, for all the possession and territory they enjoyed – they shaded the possession statistics by 53 to 47 - this would prove to be the only effort on target that the Germans managed in the entire match at last the misfiring Spanish midfield began to click. Xavi Hernandez produced a beautiful reverse pass that carved open the German defense and sent Iniesta sprinting into the German box. His hard drive across goal cannoned off German centre-back Metzelder and produced a fabulous reaction save from Lehmann, arcing to his right to prevent an own-goal.
In the 17th minute a mistake in the German midfield surrendered possession to Spain. Torres was almost clean through, his control letting him down at the last second, but the Spanish striker was coming on to a great game.
Despite his height, the boyish face and slim frame made him seem a flimsy opponent for the giant German partnership of Mertesacker and particularly Metzelder, but Torres has plenty of strength in that slim frame, and speed and skill too. He tempted Metzelder out onto the right wing, then turned and nutmegged him deftly. The German responded with a foul for which he might have been booked, but the referee was still feeling charitable and let the offence go.

At the end of the final of Euro 2008, one goal separated Spain from Germany. It was scored in the 32nd minute by Fernando Torres, a man who gave himself wholeheartedly to the Spanish cause and received his just reward.
But Lehmann will probably feel at fault for the goal. It came from a flowing Spanish move through the centre of midfield. Senna fed Xavi Hernandez, and he played a beautifully weighted pass through three German defenders for Torres to run on to. Philipp Lahm had a head start on Torres, and should have been able to clear. But Lehmann was charging from his line to intercept, and Lahm seemed to hesitate, perhaps backing the goalkeeper's judgment that he would get there first.
There was no hesitation from the Spaniard. He brushed his way forcefully but fairly past Lahm, and as Lehmann realized his error, Torres flicked the ball over the German keeper and into the empty net. The first, and ultimately the only goal of the game. A goal that would finally bury nearly fifty years of Spanish agony, despair, and underachievement.
