The Spanish royal family and the whole Spain Euro 2024 squad and coaching staff posed for photographs with the trophy outside Zarzuela Palace.

To boost the moral of the footballers, The Prince of Wales, who is the President of the Football Association, issued a message on social media after the final, writing: "This time it just wasn’t meant to be. We’re all still so proud of you. Onwards @England. W"
