Spain experienced an unforgettable Sunday in the realm of sports. First, 21-year-old tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz triumphed at Wimbledon for the second consecutive year, defeating the formidable Novak Djokovic in the championship match. Hours later, the nation erupted in celebration as Spain's men's football team captured their fourth UEFA European Championship title.
Alcaraz, who had been tweeting throughout the football final, expressed his jubilation as Spain defeated England 2-1 in Berlin. "CAMPEONES! CAMPEONES! CAMPEONES! Qué grandes sois @SEFutbol!!! Vaya espectáculo de Eurocopa (CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS! How great you are @SEFutbol!!! What a Euro Cup spectacle)," he tweeted.
Earlier, Alcaraz had expressed his hope for a "good day for Spanish people" on Centre Court at Wimbledon, where he held the iconic trophy. The predominantly English crowd had cheered him on against Djokovic, but they playfully booed him after his comment.
"Being a Spaniard, yeah, it would be a perfect Sunday," Alcaraz said. "Obviously these last days I've spoken with a few players. We send best of luck in every match. Obviously we send the best of luck on Sunday."
Spain's victory in the football final was inspired by the brilliance of young wingers Niko Williams and Lamine Yamal. The duo combined to give Spain an early lead, and Mikel Oyarzabal sealed the triumph with the winning goal.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente praised the "gift from god" that the young players brought to the team. Their inclusion in the starting lineup proved to be a masterstroke, as Spain secured their first major title since 2012.
