Spain prevailed in the Euro 2008, and maintained their stunning record of having won every match they have played in 2008. In fact the last defeat for spain was in 2006. And importantly, it was a victory for teamwork and for the beautiful football played by Spain, as they overcame all kinds of opposition. The stubborn, unadventurous Italians, the aggressive but ultimately naive Russians and the strong and athletic Germans. Through all of this, the midfield (Xavi, Fabregas, Alonso, Iniesta, Silva, Senna) ticked over like a well oiled engine, and between them Torres, Villa and Guiza were prolific in front of goal. Xavi was named man of the tournament.
