Spain overcame Croatia in a thrilling penalty shootout on Sunday, lifting the UEFA Nations League trophy after a tense match that ended without goals in regulation and extra time. The victory marks Spain's first major title since the 2012 European Championship.
Penalty Heartbreak for Croatia
Croatia, which stunned Brazil in the quarterfinals and Argentina in the semifinals, gave Spain a tough battle throughout the match. However, their efforts were ultimately denied in the shootout, as Spain converted all five of their penalties while Croatia missed one.
Spain's goalkeeper, Unai Simon, was the hero of the hour, saving two of Croatia's penalties. Sergio Busquets, Pablo Sarabia, Carlos Soler, Rodri, and Oyarzabal scored Spain's winning penalties.
The victory is a major boost for Spain, which has been rebuilding its team in recent years. It also marks a significant achievement for manager Luis Enrique, who has guided the team to success in his first major tournament.
