Spain have cemented their status as the dominant force in international football by retaining the European Championship at Wembley Stadium, defeating France 2-0 in a final that was every bit as commanding as the scoreline suggests.
The Final
A Pedri thunderbolt on 34 minutes and a clinical Lamine Yamal finish on 78 minutes sealed Spain's triumph. France, without the injured Kylian Mbappé for the final, never truly threatened Unai Simón's goal and were largely restricted to speculative long-range efforts.
Tournament Overview
Spain were the bookmakers' favourites from the outset and justified every penny of that market confidence. Their 7-0 demolition of Scotland in the group stage set the tone, and they didn't drop a point until the semi-final draw against Germany — settled on penalties.
Betting Highlights
Spain's outright winner price at the start of the tournament was 4.50 — excellent value in hindsight. For those who backed them each-way from the group stage, it was a highly profitable tournament.
The total goals market was kind to over-bettors throughout, with the tournament averaging 2.8 goals per game. Both Teams to Score landed in 68% of matches, making it the most reliable market of Euro 2026.
