Goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal secured a 2–1 win, giving Spain a record fourth European Championship and many supporters feeling they were watching the beginning of a new generation.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1323\" data-start=\"962\"\u003eFor this drawing, I listened to both Spanish and English radio commentary, sometimes switching between them and sometimes listening to them almost at the same time. It could be wonderfully confusing, but it also offered two different perspectives on the same match. The excitement was unmistakable in both broadcasts, even if each told the story in its own way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1702\" data-start=\"1325\"\u003eThe match was decided by fine margins. England fought back through Cole Palmer before a dramatic late clearance by Dani Olmo denied what seemed a certain equalizer. As the final whistle approached, the tension gave way to celebration. Rodri was named Player of the Tournament, Lamine Yamal received the Young Player award, and Spain lifted the European Championship once again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2092\" data-start=\"1704\"\u003eOne small detail has stayed with me since then. After scoring or celebrating, Lamine Yamal often makes the number \u003cstrong data-end=\"1825\" data-start=\"1818\"\u003e304\u003c\/strong\u003e with his hands, a reference to the final three digits of the postcode of Rocafonda, the neighbourhood where he grew up. I like the simplicity of that gesture. Even as his football takes him onto the biggest stages, it keeps a connection with where his journey began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2339\" data-start=\"2094\"\u003eWhenever I look at this drawing, I remember not only a thrilling final, but also the feeling that one generation was giving way to another. Football has a remarkable way of constantly renewing itself, while still finding new ways to surprise us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cassandra Constant - ArteBall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53349207408968,"sku":"V-VXTMEN5J","price":420.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3582\/7016\/files\/AB247_Web_Main_v3.jpg?v=1785924794"},{"product_id":"england-v-spain-women-2025","title":"England v Spain","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe 2025 UEFA Women's European Championship Final brought England and Spain together once again, two years after meeting in the FIFA Women's World Cup Final. This time the stage was Basel, Switzerland, with both teams having established themselves among the strongest in the women's game.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"1169\"\u003eI made this drawing while staying in London, looking after my brother's house and his two cats.

Prince William and Princess Charlotte were there to support England, while Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía travelled to support Spain. It felt like another sign of how much the women's game had grown, drawing attention and support far beyond the football itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1516\" data-end=\"1991\"\u003eWhenever I look at this drawing, I remember more than the football. I remember those days in London, the quiet company of two curious cats, and the voices from two countries coming together through the radio. England successfully defended the European title they had first won in 2022, while Spain once again showed why they remain among the strongest teams in the world. This drawing has become a memory of both the match and the place where I happened to be when I made it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cassandra Constant - ArteBall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53349237031240,"sku":"V-JQCNTCW8","price":320.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3582\/7016\/files\/AB296W_Web_Main.jpg?v=1785495456"}],"url":"https:\/\/arteball.com\/collections\/euro-cup.oembed","provider":"ArteBall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
