SPAIN WON THE UEFA U19 European Championships last night, beating the Czech Republic 3-2 after extra time in Chiajna.
Seventeen-year-old Paco Alcácer was the Spanish hero, hitting a double in the second half of extra-time to snatch the country’s first U19 crown since 2007.
Never ones to miss an opportunity, the guys and gals at Marca were quick to produce a eye-catching front-page splash to commemorate the victory.
And the headline? Well, my Spanish isn’t great, but I’m pretty sure it channels Gary Lineker’s famous quote, proclaiming “Football is a game of 11 v 11 in which Spain always win.”
Pride before the fall, lads. Pride before the fall.
