Nico Williams has been named Vivo Player of the Match after Spain beat England in the UEFA EURO 2024 final in Berlin.
Speaking about his performance in the decider, the UEFA Technical Observer Panel said: "He was very dangerous in attack, defended a lot, covered Marc Cucurella and moved into midfield for combinations with Dani Olmo. He scored the first goal and was one of the most dangerous players on the field."
Williams opened the scoring for La Roja early in the second half, powering a crisp, low finish into the far corner from Lamine Yamal's pass.
Williams said: "Right now we are not really aware of what we've done. Every footballer dreams of a moment like this. This is for everybody who believed in me from the very beginning. I'm really happy because we've made history.
"I always try to do my best to help my team. It's true people are now getting to know me and have more respect for me; I appreciate that respect very much. I work every day to be one of the best in my position."
