And we sign off tonight with the news that Fernando Torres has won the Golden Boot this tournament. Although he was tied with Mario Gomez with three goals and an assist, he did it in fewer minutes than the Munich man.

That's all we have for you from Euro 2012. You've all been wonderful to us throughout the tournament. A huge thank you from us. Now goodnight, and goodbye.

Jordi Alba: "I am very happy, now it's time to enjoy with the national team, the Euro has been very good for us".
About his transfer to Barcelona: "Valencia and Barcelona have agreed, everything went well."

Spain have had their critics throughout this competition but it was emphatic in the end. That was impressive and caps a wonderful four years for this team. Deserved winners in the end and it's not over yet: Vicente del Bosque is set to stay on for two more years and most of these players will still be around then. Scary.

It's harsh on Italy but a special moment for Juan Mata, who has waited patiently for his opportunity and not once complained. And quite a year for the Asturian, who moved to England, finished as Chelsea's Player of the Season, won the FA Cup and the Champions League too.

And here's our match report. And our player ratings. Congratulations, Spain!

And that's IT. Spain are the winners by a country mile. It ceased to be a contest when Prandelli jumped the gun with his substitutions and Motta backfired on him. Spain win back-to-back Euros, becoming the first team to do so! And they do it in style. 4-0 style.
