One England player made a Spanish outlet's Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament.

Spain beat England 2-1 in the final of Euro 2024 as Mikel Oyarzabal scored from close range to grab his side's winner after Cole Palmer had cancelled out Nico Williams' opener.

Lamine Yamal, who won the Young Player of the Tournament award, set up Williams' goal as he enhanced his reputation following his performances.

The 17--year-old stunned his social media followers after the game as people couldn't believe what he showed inside Spain's dressing room.

Unsurprisingly, he made Marca's Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament alongside SIX of his international teammates.

Williams, Dani Olmo, Rodri and Fabian Ruiz featured in the XI, too, not to mention defenders Dani Carvajal and Marc Cucurella, who was ruthlessly booed in Berlin.

France's William Saliba and Jules Kounde were also included.

And there's one sole representative from England and the Netherlands, with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and forward Cody Gakpo completing Marca's Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament.

Pickford kept two clean sheets (Serbia and Slovenia) in Germany and produced a heroic showing in his side's penalty shootout victory against Switzerland, saving Manuel Akanji's spot-kick.

As for Gakpo, he scored three goals at the tournament as the Liverpool star posed a huge threat on the left for the Dutch.

Pickford, meanwhile, cut a devastated figure following England's crushing defeat to Spain.

Speaking after the match, he said: "They gave us a sucker punch towards the end. Just devastated. It's taken the soul out of me, to be honest.

"There are no more words really, I've given it my all. I think we've all given it our all."
