Spain Home Shirt 2008

In 2008, Spain, managed by Luis Aragonés, won UEFA Euro 2008, ending a 44-year major tournament drought. The squad featured stars like Iker Casillas, Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, David Villa, and Carlos Marchena, blending experienced leaders with emerging talent. Spain’s style emphasised possession, passing, and tactical discipline, later dubbed “tiki-taka.” They advanced through the group stage with wins over Russia, Sweden, and draws with Greece. In the knockout rounds, they defeated Italy in the quarter-finals on penalties and Russia 3–0 in the semi-finals. In the final, Spain beat Germany 1–0 through Fernando Torres’ goal, marking the start of a golden era.
