Football One more in the celebrations: Junior Fernandes celebrates Spain’s European Cup title

Spain and England played in the European Cup final on Sunday, with the Spanish side winning their fourth title in the competition after beating the Three Lions 2-1.

This allowed the Reds of Europe to become the most successful team on the Old Continent. And among the fans present in the stadium was a Chilean. It is Junior Fernandes who shared on his social networks his trip from Turkey to Germany to see one of his former teammates. .

Dani Olmo, one of the good names of the Iberian attack, shared with the Chilean at Dinamo Zagreb At just 16 years old, the Spaniard went to Croatia to be part of the squad he shared between 2017 and 2018 with Fernandes, as well as Angelo Henríquez.

After the victory, Fernandes posted a photo of himself in the Spanish jersey, wearing his former teammate’s number 10, holding the trophy.

“Congratulations, European champion. You deserve it, brother. ” he wrote in the post.

Dani Olmo, who ended up being Spain’s top scorer with three goals, also played a leading role in the European Cup final, of course far from the role of scorer.

Hispanic fans will remember him as the man who, in a moment of difficulty, appeared with a saving header to preserve the result against England.

The 90th minute of the match was played and the English were looking with all their might to score a goal to take the match into extra time. So, after a corner, Declan Rice followed up with a powerful and well-headed cross. First, Unai Simón pushed back. However, the ball stayed there and the rebound was caught by Marc Guehi. When the ball went in, Dani Olmo appeared to clear it off the line. .

Olmo, in this European Cup, has become the unexpected hero of Spain. The playmaker started the continental competition as a substitute. He started with a secondary role, but little by little he took center stage. This figure has increased considerably since the end of the group stage. He added three scores and was one of the top scorers in the competition. .

He scored against Georgia in the round of 16, against Germany in the quarter-finals (draw) and against France in the semi-finals (winning goal). The latter was looking for incredible control in the box, a hook and a powerful strike. A beautiful goal reflects his performance in the tournament.
