Fresh from an outstanding debut season with Liverpool, #Fernando #Torres etched his name into the history of Spanish football by scoring the winner in the final of #Euro 2008.
La Roja went into the tournament in Austria and Switzerland having not won a major trophy for 44 years but Torres’ goal, which earned his country a 1-0 victory over #Germany in Vienna, kickstarted a spell of international domination.
The strike was typically Torres, too, as a burst of acceleration enabled him to reach Xavi Hernandez’s pass before he clipped a beautiful first-time finish over the onrushing Jens Lehmann.
