Spain Crowned UEFA Nations League Champions

Spain won against Croatia in a penalty shootout 5-4 in the UEFA Nations League final today, Sunday, claiming their first title in a decade. The match ended in a goalless draw at the Feyenoord Stadium after extra time, with Spain's goalkeeper Unai Simon playing the hero in the penalties. Simon saved a kick from Lovro Mayer, giving Aymeric Laporte the chance to clinch the title for Spain, but the defender hit the crossbar. Simon saved another penalty from Bruno Petkovic, renewing Spain's hopes, and Dani Carvajal executed the decisive penalty in a Panenka style. Spain's last title was in the 2012 European Championship, and this triumph will help them overcome the disappointment of being eliminated in the Round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar by Morocco.
