Fernando Torres

Fernando Torres was in dreamland after a stunning final performance saw Spain claim the European Championships crown.

Torres, voted man of the match by UEFA, said: "This is good not just for Spain but for football, because the best team won and that is not always the case."

"We are proud to see so many people enjoying it, and now we have the peace of mind that we have achieved what we set out to do."

Torres added: "I am happy because my job is to score goals and I have done my job tonight but this was a victory for the unity of the group - it doesn't often happen that a group gets along so well."
