England:
"The Mirror:'So close ... and yet so far away. England lose the European Championship in the final minutes of the historic final."
"The Times": "Spain strike late and break England's hearts. One more thing - the message Gareth Southgate shouted after the semi-final remains frozen in time, a brief summary of England's pain. One more win. One more tournament. That's what England need to continue to end the wait and finally win something. They've fallen at the final hurdle again. If we're honest, we need more quality and also more ambition. They didn't play well enough and didn't risk enough to deserve more."

"The Sun": "Three Lions suffer heartbreak again - Southgate and his heroes fall at the final hurdle."

"Bild":"What a triumph! Spain become European champions for the fourth time after 1964, 2008 and 2012. And England? Missing out on the European final for the second time in a row after losing the 2021 final to Italy."
Italy:
"La Gazzetta dello Sport":"Spain on the roof of Europe. Williams and Oyarzabal end the English dream. England's curse continues. 'It's coming home' - and how. Está volviendo a casa. Spain are European champions for the fourth time."
"Corriere della Sera":"The night in Berlin is Spain's with Nico Williams, Yamal, Oyarzabal and Luis de la Fuente, who has created an armored cruiser in a year. Another disappointment for England."

"Krone":"Spain wins European Championship title! England in the valley of tears. With the fourth European Championship title in total, "La Roja" is now the sole record holder. England, on the other hand, failed to reach the final for the second time in a row. The title curse continues and plunges the country into a new football tragedy."
