Spain, appearing in their first final since 1984 and seeking only their second trophy following their 1964 Euro success on home soil, were worthy winners as their crisp passing, wonderful technique and defensive discipline left Germany flailing.

Euro 2008 kicks off
Football's European Championship will kick off in Switzerland on Saturday. For the 13th time Europe's finest will battle it out for the right to lift the competition's Henri Delaunay trophy.
But it was unlucky for some, with no representatives from Britain qualifying for the tournament, which is being co-hosted by Switzerland and Austria.
The Swiss will get the competition off and running when they meet Czech Republic in the opening game in Basel at 1700 BST on Saturday.
Over the next 23 days the tournament will cram in 31 games at eight different stadiums across the two countries.
Until 1980 only four teams competed in the European Championship finals, but since then it has grown into the third largest sporting event in the world after the World Cup and Olympic Games.

Euro 2008: Al-Qaeda threatens terrorist attack
Al-Qaeda sympathisers are threatening to attack the Euro 2008 football tournament next month, according to Swiss police.
The championships, which begin on June 7 and are hosted by Switzerland and Austria, are in a "terrorist danger zone" and police are monitoring closely a number of internet chat forums linked to the terror group.
Juerg Buehler, a security expert with the Swiss federal police, said: "The Euro 2008 tournament is a potential target cited by the Islamist terrorist network."
Messages have been posted on "sos minbar" and "As-Sahab", two Islamist websites used by al-Qa’eda and its followers.
Mr Buehler said: "We are taking these threats seriously. We are on alert and we are following these jihad forums very closely. It is through these that Osama bin Laden’s agents awaken dormant cells.
"The situation is serious even if it is frustrated people hiding behind these sites."
According to the official, one site said: "Let’s transform the two most secure countries in Europe into hell, like the hell in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Other messages said: "The hour has come for fighters of the faith. They must make themselves heard" and "Austria must withdraw from Afghanistan".
A Swiss police spokesman Guido Balmer stressed that there was "no concrete evidence" that an attack was being planned but said all threats were taken seriously.
He said: "The tournament is a potential target, as are the Olympics and other big sporting events. They are in terrorist danger zones. But it is wrong to say that we have firm intelligence of a specific plot. We don’t have concrete evidence of preparation or planning. There are many discussions on Islamist websites which we are monitoring.
"A major event such as Euro 2008 could well be a rewarding goal from the perspective of terrorists."
More than five million people are expected to attend Euro 2008.
Sixteen teams are competing and the first match is in the Swiss city of Basle. There are eight venues in Switzerland and four in Austria.
Switzerland has been widely accused of Islamophobia in the Muslim world, notably because of opposition to the construction of mosque minarets in several Swiss cities.
Austria could also be a target because of the presence of its troops in the international force in Afghanistan.
Counter-terrorism experts say Islamist forums regularly carry threats of attacks which have to be studied, though few are to be taken seriously. Al-Qaeda sympathisers are threatening to attack the Euro 2008 football tournament next month, according to Swiss police. ... more -
