Euro 2024 final: England captain Harry Kane says defeat ‘will hurt for a long time’

Captain Harry Kane says England’s defeat by Spain in the final of Euro 2024 will “hurt for a long time”.

Gareth Southgate’s side were beaten 2-1 at Berlin’s Olympiastadion, leaving the men’s team without a major trophy since triumphing at the 1966 World Cup.

This was their second successive European Championship final loss after they were beaten on penalties by Italy three years ago.

A Cole Palmer strike cancelled out Nico Williams’ opener to give England hope, but that was dashed with four minutes remaining as substitute Mikel Oyarzabal pounced from close range.

“This was another tough moment for the team and for me personally,” Bayern Munich striker Kane told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“Credit to Spain, they played well. We couldn’t find our rhythm in the game and in these big moments you get punished.

“It was a tough tournament physically and mentally. You get so close to the highest of the highs, the pinnacle of our careers, and now everyone is at the lowest of the lows.

“We haven’t found a way to win that trophy and it is going to hurt for a long time.”
