Club with most Euro 2024 Winners
Can you guess which club had the most players in the Euro 2024-winning Spanish side? It's not Atletico Madrid. It's not FC Barcelona. And it's not Real Madrid either. The team that won the most championship medals at Euro 2024 is Real Sociedad, with five. There were four FC Barcelona players in the 25-member squad. Real Madrid and Athletic Club had three players each. Interestingly, Real Sociedad's contribution was not limited to mere representation. The club's centre-back Le Normand started the final against England, while Zubimendi, Oyarzabal, and Merino came in as substitutes.
It seems a lot has changed in Spanish football over the last few years. Ten players from Spain's starting lineup at the 2010 FIFA World Cup final represented either Real Madrid or Barcelona. Does this mean that the best Spanish players don't play for Real Madrid and Barcelona anymore? Or does this mean that the two biggest football clubs in Spain prefer international players instead? Let us know in the comments.
