They lost Rhodri and were not ashamed at all.
In the 75th minute, the Spaniards achieved a narrow victory over the English: in the 47th minute, Nico Williams provided an assist for Lamin Yamal. And a goal scored has double value because it came after a big loss.
At the end of the first half, the most expensive midfielder in the world (120 million euros) blocked Harry Kane’s shot. He then limped off, twisting his ankle. As he left the field, the player put his hands to his face. He understood what would happen next. Rodri did not appear in the second half of the match, Luis de la Fuente replaced him with Martín Subimendi.

The tournament has already become legendary for him, regardless of the result of the final. Although the partners have not yet let us down.
