The EURO 2024 final was a war of attrition as England and Spain struggled to break each other down in the first half.
But the early winners from the cagey contest was Real Madrid, whose players dominated the battle for control for their respective sides.
Both Jude Bellingham and Dani Carvajal won the most duels for their country in the opening 25 minutes of the Olympiastadion showpiece.
Clearly there’s something in the water at the Santiago Bernabéu.
