The 4-0 victory over the Azzurri in Kiev on July 1 made Vicente del Bosque's side the first team to successfully defend the European crown and the first nation to win three consecutive major international titles.

Beyond the silverware, its stylistic legacy looks set to be remembered with the kind of reverence previously reserved for the Brazilian World Cup winner of 1970 or Rinus Michels' Netherlands side of 1974.
