What a performance by the Spanish in the Euro 2012 Final today in Kiev, Ukraine, as they overwhelm Italy 4-0 to win their third straight major title (after 08 Euro and 2010 World Cup).
La Roja cement themselves as maybe the best team ever, as they used clinical finishing to take a 2-0 halftime lead, despite the Italians getting more possession of the ball. Other than a splendid header by David Silva in the 14th and Xavi slipping perfect ball through to Jordi Alba, the Azzuri actually dictated the tempo more often in the first half.
But in the second half, after Thiago Motta, who was Italy's final substitution, came up lame, forcing the Azzuri to 10-men, it was over, as substitutes Fernando Torres and Juan Mata put the game out of reach with waning moment goals.
