STORY: After taking their place among the game's greats by thrashing Italy 4-0 to retain their European title, the Spanish national soccer team was greeted by Spain's King Juan Carlos I.

Their success rewrote the tactical handbook, and the record books, after goals from David Silva and Jordi Alba. Late substitutes Fernando Torres and Juan Mata gave the world champions an ultimately easy victory over an Italian team down to 10 men through injury for the last half-hour. It was the biggest victory margin in a World Cup or Euro final - and all without a recognized striker.
