PTC News Desk: From a sports perspective, Spain had a very eventful Sunday. First, the nation witnessed 21-year-old Carlos Alcaraz win a second straight Wimbledon championship by defeating Novak Djokovic, who is typically unbeatable, in the championship match of The Championships.

Soon after, the men's national team of Alcaraz and the entire Spanish population rejoiced at winning their fourth UEFA European Championship title.

Throughout the final, which saw Spain defeat England 2-1 in Berlin, Germany, Alcaraz was tweeting nonstop. He tweeted, "CAMPEONES! CAMPEONES! CAMPEONES!" to commemorate Spain's victory. How wonderful you are, @SEFutbol! Enjoy the Eurocopa spectacle (CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS! @SEFutbol, you are so amazing! What a sight the Euro Cup is).


Along with celebrating the two goals Spain had scored earlier, he continued to respond loudly on his X handle to several different occasions.

With just hours until the final in Berlin begins, Alcaraz had earlier expressed his hope that it would be a "good day for Spanish people" on Centre Court while holding the renowned Wimbledon trophy. The crowd, which was primarily English, began to jeer the Spaniard in amusement after most of them had supported him on over the majority of the match when he easily defeated Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6.

"Being a Spaniard, yeah, it would be a perfect Sunday," Alcaraz replied. "I've obviously spoken with a few guys in the last few days. We wish you luck in each and every game. Naturally, we wish you luck on Sunday."

Young guns bring a major title back to Spain

Niko Williams and Lamine Yamal, two of Spain's promising wingers, were the team's main inspirations. The teenage players were instrumental in their team's journey to the Berlin final and helped Spain defeat England at a moment that seemed appropriate considering their incredible summer.

Spain took a well-earned lead thanks to Williams' well-taken goal, and before Cole Palmer's equalizer for England, the two nearly doubled that margin. Spain then scored the game's winning goal by Mikel Oyarzabal, and they claimed their first major victory since 2012.

Earlier in the competition, Spain's coach Luis de la Fuente claimed that the two had a "gift from god" and that he should be commended for using both of them instead of taking a more cautious approach. Spain did not always have the advantage over their opponents as a result, but neither they nor their supporters cared as they celebrated with the trophy.
