Although many legends have worn the Real Madrid shirt and participated in the Euros with their countries, a special knot remains tied to the Royal Club in the final match specifically.
Throughout history, no Real Madrid player was able to score a goal in the Euro final, and the Royal Club’s hopes were that Jude Bellingham or Dani Carvajal would succeed in untying this knot.
Bellingham was unable to intervene and save England in the Euro 2024 final, and was content with assisting Cole Palmer’s equalizer.
As for Dani Carvajal, despite Spain’s victory, he was unable to score, and La Roja’s double came through Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams and Real Sociedad striker Mikel Oyarzabal.
Perhaps losing the Euros relatively reduces Bellingham’s chances of winning the Ballon d’Or, and makes another Real Madrid star, Vinicius Junior, logically closer to the most expensive individual award in football.
The 21-year-old’s face showed sadness after losing the final, to the point that he was photographed hitting one of the bench chairs out of anger.
