Spain's progress to the UEFA EURO 2012 showpiece was derided as "boring" by some commentators, but Vicente del Bosque's side rounded off with a memorable final feast.
Talk about saving the best for last. Spain's progress to the UEFA EURO 2012 final was at times functional rather than flashy; even "boring" to some commentators who, having grown fat on the prize cuts of the Roja's previous four years, refused to accept leaner pickings. In the final, though, Spain treated the watching world to a feast.
Vicente del Bosque's side never showed signs of buckling under the weight of expectation as they sought an unprecedented third successive major tournament win. However, robbed of the injured David Villa, the most prolific striker in Spain's history, and with opponents apparently wising up to their style, this was never going to be easy.
