Spain revels in golden Sunday as Carlos Alcaraz and men’s football team emerge victorious

CNN — Sunday was a glorious day in the history of Spanish sport.

Earlier in the day, Carlos Alcaraz won his second consecutive Wimbledon title after dismantling Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the final on Centre Court, a victory that was followed up by the men’s national soccer team deservedly beating England 2-1 in the Euro 2024 final.

Several of the Spanish national team’s legends were also in attendance to celebrate the country’s record-breaking fourth European Championship. Andrés Iniesta posted a photo alongside David Villa, the country’s all-time record goalscorer, and Xavi in the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Xavi and Iniesta played key roles in La Roja winning three successive international trophies between 2008 and 2012, while Villa was integral to Spain winning Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup.
