Spain, the current world champions and now European cup holders for the second time in a row.
A hat-trick of tournament wins puts this Spanish team in the history books. Right from the first whistle there was only one team on the field.
The Italians struggled to stop the Spanish possession and fast movements off the ball and as a result went in the break 2-0 down. Prandelli had to change something and decided to try and put his team back into the game. As the Italians tried to attack, the Spanish were able to counterattack the Italian defense and were able to score another 2 goals before the final whistle.
Italy's Thiago Motta's serious muscle injury also left the team in 10 men as Prandelli had already used his three substitutions that were available to him.
A night that started badly and finished worse for the 4 time world champions, Italy. Casillas lifted the trophy for the 2nd time and along with his fellow Real Madrid teammates capped off a fantastic season with the La Liga win and the Euro2012 trophy.
See you in two years time in Brasil at the world cup.
