Spain Crash Out of Euro 2024 After Shock Defeat to Italy

Spain's reign as European footballing giants came to a crashing end on Wednesday night as they were beaten 1-0 by Italy in their final Group B match at Euro 2024.

Despite dominating the game, Spain was unable to find a way past a resolute Italian defense. A pinpoint volley from Roberto Mancini's side ended Spain's hopes of reaching the last 16.

Spain's exit from the tournament marks a disappointing end to a disappointing campaign. After winning the European Championship in 2008 and 2012 and the World Cup in 2010, Spain was expected to be among the favorites in this tournament.

However, Spain's cautious possession-focused style of play has been criticized by many, and they have struggled to find their best form in recent years. Their performance at Euro 2024 was no exception, and they failed to win a single game in the group stage.

Spain's defeat to Italy will be a major disappointment for the country's fans. It is the first time that Spain has failed to reach the knockout stages of a major tournament since the 1998 World Cup.
