Olli Watkins playing for Exeter City
England manager Gareth Southgate consoled Ollie Watkins after England's dreams of Euro glory ended in heartache in Berlin last night.
Mikel Oyarzabal struck a late winner as Spain grabbed the Euro 2024 trophy via a 2-1 win.
Former Exeter City and now Premiership and England star Ollie could only stand and watch Spain lift the trophy adding to England's never-ending wait of winning a championship.
Boss Southgate, whose future is now in doubt, wrapped his arms around Ollie as the Aston Villa striker and his team-mates were left totally dejected and in tears.
Spain opened the scoring with a goal from Nico Williams' two minutes after half-time. England captain Harry Kane was taken off following a disappointing display up front only for Cole Palmer to follow in Ollie's footsteps and become the latest England hero off the bench to strike an equaliser.
Extra-time was looming when Marc Cucurella's cross was turned home by Oyarzabal in the 86th minute, leaving the Three Lions with little time to roar back before the final heart-wrenching full time whistle.
