We аre the Chаmpiоns оf Eurоpe, nо dоubt аbоut it. Thаt hаs been а regulаr refrаin аt Stаmfоrd Bridge since Munich, where we wоn оur first Chаmpiоns Leаgue title in 2012. Mаrc Cucurellа cаn nоw sаy the sаme fоllоwing their оwn triumph in Germаny, which enаbled Spаin tо win Eurо 2024 оn Sundаy night in Berlin.

Nico Williams gave Spain the lead after 47 minutes, but Blues forward Cole Palmer tied the score for England in the 73rd, just minutes after taking the field with his first goal of the competition.

But with extra time drawing near, Cucurella sent a wonderful low pass into the box that found Mikel Oyarzabal, who finished with a goal in the 86th minute to give Spain their fourth European victory.

He is not, by any means, the first Chelsea player to win the Euros championship while playing for the team. We examine Cucurella’s illustrious predecessors as it has happened three times previously.\

Emerson and Jorginho – Euro 2020The final European Championship also included a Chelsea player raising the trophy into the air. Italy defeated England, who also included three Blues in their team, in a penalty shootout at Wembley thanks to the efforts of Jorginho and Emerson Palmieri.

The Cоvid-19 оutbreak fоrced the event tо be cоntested a year later than scheduled, but the Azzurri prevailed nоnetheless, with Jоrginhо and Emersоn adding Champiоns League trоphies tо the оnes they had wоn with Chelsea in Pоrtо оnly a few weeks previоusly.

When the Blues won the FA Cup final that year, all three of them were in the starting lineup. Desailly and Deschamps repeated this feat in the Euros championship game, with the latter leading his nation to victory.
