England has now lost two consecutive Euro finals after losing to Italy in the 2020 final, which was postponed due to the pandemic and held at Wembley Stadium in July 2021.
The captain, Harry Kane, described it as “as painful as it can be” and a “huge disappointment.”.
Kane stated, “We’re all just hurting,” and that the England team had “had to show a lot of resilience” throughout the “tough tournament”.
But after Cole Palmer equalized the score with a long-range goal and had a “big” chance, he stated they played “really well” to regain the lead.
In reference to Gareth Southgate’s future, Kane stated, “We love the manager, but it’s his decision.”
According to Southgate, his squad was “still in the game at 80 minutes” and had played all the way to the “very end of the final”.
However, he acknowledged that they did not manage the ball “quite well enough”.
The “best team of the tournament” was, in his opinion, Spain.
