Spain were crowned European under-19 champions for the seventh time on Sunday after beating Russia 2-0 in the final played in the Greek town of Katerini.
The teams had already met in the group stages, with Russia winning 3-1, but Spain gained their revenge with a clinical performance to take the title for the third time in the last five tournaments.
Borja Mayoral put Spain ahead with a 39th minute header and they doubled their lead in the 78th minute when substitute Matias Nahuel went one on one with the goalkeeper Anton Mitryushkin.
