The UEFA Euro 2008 Final was a football match that took place on 29 June 2008 at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna, Austria, to determine the winner of the UEFA Euro 2008. Spain defeated Germany 1–0 with a 33rd-minute goal from Fernando Torres. This was only the second time in European Championship history that the champions had won every match in the group stage; the other team to do so was France in 1984. Spain were also the first team since Germany in 1996 to win the tournament undefeated. Despite the one-goal margin of victory, it was a fairly dominant performance by Spain.
The tournament's closing ceremony was held immediately prior to kickoff, and featured 400 performers, including Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias, singing the tournament's official song, "Can You Hear Me".
The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Euro 2008 or simply Euro 2008, was the 13th UEFA European Football Championship, a quadrennial football tournament contested by European nations. It took place in Austria and Switzerland (both hosting the tournament for the first time) from 7 to 29 June 2008. The second jointly hosted finals in the competition's history, the tournament was eventually won by Spain, defeating Germany 1–0 in the final; becoming only the second nation to win all their group stage fixtures and win the European Championship itself; an accomplishment matched by France in 1984. Spain were also the first team since Germany in 1996 to win the tournament undefeated.
Greece were the defending champions going into the tournament, having won UEFA Euro 2004, the previous competition. They recorded the worst finish in Euro 2008, collecting the least amount of prize money and gaining no points in their three group fixtures. Throughout 31 matches, the participating nations totalled 77 goals, the same as the previous tournament. Austria and Switzerland automatically qualified as hosts; the remaining 14 teams were determined through qualifying matches, which began in August 2006. As European champions, Spain earned the right to compete for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa.
UEFA Euro 2008 is the official video game of the Euro 2008 football tournament, published by EA Sports. It was developed collaboratively by EA Canada and HB Studios and was released in Europe and North America on April 18, 2008 and May 19, 2008 respectively. The commentary was provided by Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend.
EA issued an apology after mistakenly using the Soldier's Song as Northern Ireland's anthem within the game, instead of God Save The Queen. Public Relations head Shaun White said "we pride ourselves on delivering rich and authentic videogame experiences. We sincerely apologise for this error." The apology was welcomed by Gregory Campbell, Northern Ireland's Sports Minister, who said "Any apology on this matter is most welcome. Obviously there's has been a lack of knowledge on the makers' part and hopefully it will be changed as soon as possible".

La Roja saved their best until last, overwhelming Italy to complete an unprecedented hat-trick of major tournament wins as Spanish football's golden age continued.
Champions in 2008, Spain hoped to become the first team to retain the Henri Delaunay Cup at UEFA EURO 2012. Having also won the 2010 FIFA World Cup, they were targeting three successive major titles. Spain actually drew 1-1 with Italy in the sides' 2012 opener, but made it past France and then Portugal to reach the final.

EURO Classics: Spain 4-0 Italy, 2012
La Roja saved their best until last, overwhelming Italy to complete an unprecedented hat-trick of major tournament wins as Spanish football's golden age continued.
Champions in 2008, Spain hoped to become the first team to retain the Henri Delaunay Cup at UEFA EURO 2012. Having also won the 2010 FIFA World Cup, they were targeting three successive major titles. Spain actually drew 1-1 with Italy in the sides' 2012 opener, but made it past France and then Portugal to reach the final. Winners in 1968 and runners-up in 2000, Italy had overcome England and Germany to get to Kyiv and the trophy match.
Key players
Iker Casillas: Spain's captain had landed his fifth Liga title with Real Madrid ahead of the tournament, and kept clean sheets throughout the knockout phase in Poland and Ukraine – repeating his 2008 heroics. The final was his 100th international appearance.
Andrea Pirlo: At 33, the midfielder had collected back-to-back Serie A titles with Juventus coming into EURO 2012. Man of the match three times on the road to Kyiv, Pirlo's chipped quarter-final penalty against England reiterated his class.
Andrés Iniesta: The midfield maestro's creative influence proved integral to Spain's pathway to the final. His Barcelona side had finished second in the Liga in 2011/12 but still captured the Spanish Super Cup and Copa de Rey.
What happened
A rare headed goal from David Silva broke the deadlock on 14 minutes, after the midfielder met Cesc Fàbregas' delivery. Jordi Alba was next, latching onto Xavi Hernández's through ball and completing a fabulous run by slotting past Gianluigi Buffon minutes before the half-time whistle.
Brought off the bench in the 75th minute, Fernando Torres steered in La Roja's third of the night, becoming the first player to score in two EURO finals. Adding extra sheen on 88 minutes, Torres selflessly teed up Juan Mata to make it 4-0 – a EURO final record result – as Spain clinched their hat-trick of tournament triumphs.
Reaction
Sergio Ramos, Spain defender: "Some people are blessed with a magic touch and Fernando [Torres] is one of them. Of course, there's a lot of effort, dedication, hard work and professionalism behind that. He takes care of himself, he lives for this, and he also has this gift for finals."
Andrés Iniesta, Spain midfielder: "We had the perfect game. We dominated, moved the ball quickly, and created lots of chances. I think it's one of the national team's greatest games."
Cesare Prandelli, Italy coach: "You can never be happy after a defeat; you always want to win. But the longer the game went on, the more I came to reflect on how well we've played. When we fly over Kyiv and see the stadium lights, I will have pangs of disappointment, but I leave proud."
Aftermath
The 2012 showpiece arguably marked the end of an era for these two sides. Yes, Spain and Italy went to the 2014 World Cup, but both bowed out at the group stage. When the countries then met again at EURO 2016, goals from Italy's Giorgio Chiellini and Graziano Pellè saw off the Spaniards in the last 16.
Vicente del Bosque stepped down as coach in the wake of that defeat, while the Azzurri were knocked out by Germany on penalties in the quarter-finals. Italy subsequently failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, an event at which Spain lost to hosts Russia in the round of 16.
