ijust can't believe we are here in berlin. it's written in the stars. we rode our luck— throughout the tournament. it's happening, i it's coming home. here in a venue of epic proportions, greatness beckoned. in what could be his final game in charge, the manager and his players arrived for a date with destiny. england! could they be the ones to secure a first major title since that iconic day, 58 years ago, in this, the game of their lives? standing between them and glory, the team of the tournament so far. in a first half that lacked any rhythm, phil foden�*s effort on the stretch was england's only shot on target. spain's young wingers have taken these euros by storm and straight after the restart, they combined to devastating effect. commentator: it's going to go over to williams now! lamine yamalfinding

nico williams, who finished with aplomb. a stunned england would have to come from behind for the fourth match in a row. but as he has done so often here, gareth southgate made changes. captain harry kane off, for the semifinal hero, ollie watkins. the competition's youngest scorer, yamal, teenager, going close to extending the lead. but resilience has been a theme of england's campaign and so it proved once again. oh, yes! ice cold precision from palmer. substitute cole palmer has made an impact from the bench throughout the tournament. never quite like this. but spain are the euros�* top scorers and with extra time looming, oyarzabal broke english hearts. and not long left for england to do anything about this one. was another opportunity about to slip away? a desperate england then came agonizingly close to a last—ditch equalizer. headed off the line and it is wide. declan rice and marc guehi

with close—range chances but spain survived. england were out of time. this, an all—too—familiar feeling. having lost the last euros final, success had once again proved truly elusive. success had once again proved cruelly elusive. worthy winners spain, crowned champions for a record fourth time. the long and painful wait continues. dan roan, bbc news, berlin. so, despairfor england as their wait to win a major trophy continues. manager gareth southgate says there were many factors at play in theirfinal defeat. to lose the final is incredibly tough. um, i think firstly congratulations to spain. they were the best team in the tournament. um, they were the best team tonight. um, our players have been incredible. they've given everybody some incredible nights. they couldn't have given any more in terms of their effort,
2:48 am
their desire, their character. um, tonight we fell short. we didn't keep the ball well enough. um, we actually defended well in the first half in particular, limited their possibilities, but we couldn't play through the counter—press well enough. um, and we actually didn't really use the ball well until we were a goal down. then we had a decent period in the game. we got the equaliser, but i think the physical toll of the issues we came into the tournament with, the extra time periods, and then tonight having as little of the ball as we did, ultimately that took a big toll, and i think was part of the reason why at the end, you know, legs had started to go, and you start to make mistakes. but, you know, the players have pushed it till the 85th minute of the final game. they've been incredible, really. thousands of supporters
2:49 am
watched the games in fan parks across europe. this in madrid with scenes of absolute ecstasy as the fans all that in marked contrast to brixton in south london where the final whistle was met with considerably less enthusiasm. of course, it's the second successive euro men's final that england fans have seen their team fall at the final hurdle. the result went down just as badly in berlin. no pace up front. just didn't happen. and absolutely gutted. but i thought it was coming home. now it's not coming home, but the best team of the competition won if i'm honest. same old story, isn't it? we, um, did really well- after we conceded, but first half was basically pointless. and then we conceded the goal, and then we started playing - well, we look good, - and then we scored and then
2:50 am
we stopped playing well. but it's the same. um, we're used to it by now. it was worth it for the goal. like shame. shame it didn't happen. but we go again, right? wasn't great. we didn't press enough, and they have it too easy. got some good players coming through. and i think that, um, you know, showing some potential. just needs some more games and some more wins. spain's joy started at wimbledon earlier on sunday as carlos alcaraz made it back—to—back men's titles at the all england club. chetan patak was watching. last year, we had a five—set epic between these two. this time, it was entirely different, in part because carlos alcaraz is a better player a year on, and a big part also because novak djokovic was clearly out of sorts. alcaraz�*s level was high from the start. he broke the djokovic serve early and then raced into a two—set lead. all that whilst the seven—time champion struggled. djokovic only had knee surgery last month, and up against a relentless player like alcaraz, it showed. there was a brief opening for a djokovic comeback in the third set when alcaraz
2:51 am
led his first championship points slip away, but he made no mistake in the tie break, winning in straight sets. at 21, he becomes the youngest man to win wimbledon and the french open in the same year. i'm repeating, you know, my dream. yeah, i want you to keep going, but obviously it's a great feeling to, to play in this court, to lift this beautiful court, uh, to leave this amazing trophy. i'm going to say. or i said it before that, uh, for me, this was the most beautiful tournament, the most beautiful court, and obviously the most beautiful trophy. meanwhile, for novak djokovic at 37, that wait for a roger federer equaling eighth wimbledon singles title and a record 25th grand slam goes on. he's had an incredible fortnight, all things considered, with much to reflect on. you can always, uh, analyse the match, of course, after and say, you know, i could have done this or that, but just overall the way i felt on the court, um, today against him,
2:52 am
ijust, uh, i was inferior on the court. that's it. you know, he was a better player. he played every single shot better than i did. so, i don't think i could have done something much more. and so wimbledon 2024 comes to an end, and novak djokovic and carlos alcaraz now both turn their attention to the next prize in the sport, whichjust so happens to be olympic gold. and that quest begins in paris in under two weeks�* time. to golf — there was a thrilling finish to the scottish open at the renaissance club in north berwick. going into the 18th hole, scotland's bob macintyre was level on 17 under par with the australian adam scott and needed this birdie putt to take the title. macintyre is only the second scottish winner of the competition after colin montgomerie was victorious back in 1999. meanwhile, japan's ayaka furue earned her maiden major victory after an eagle at the final hole to win the evian

championship by one shot. trailing by a stroke as she headed up the parfive 18th, the 24—year—old hit this approach shot to give herself a very realistic chance of claiming victory. she then held her nerve to hit a spectacular putt and see off the competition and finish on 19 under par, thus becoming just the third japanese player to win a major championship. six stages to go at the tour de france and tadej pogacar is closing in on a third yellowjersey. the slovenian dominated stage 15 in the mountains. he soared away from his closest rivaljonas vingegaard leaving the defending champion trailing in his wake. pogacar won the stage, his third on this year's tour, and gained significant time on vingegaard. he now leads by over three minutes going into monday's final rest day. elsewhere, elisa longo borghini won the women's giro d'italia.

just enough time to recap our top story — spain are european champions once again. they beat england 2—1 in berlin. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. bye— bye. hello. we are very nearly halfway throuthuly, and the month so far has been decidedly cool — and for some of us, very wet indeed. there is some heavy rain in the forecast for the week ahead, but it is likely to turn drier and warmer, at least for a time. in the short term, though, it is this area of low pressure that is swirling its way in from the southwest, and this frontal system, which is going to generate some very heavy rain across the south of the uk during monday. further north, many places getting off to a fine start with some sunshine, but let's zoom in — some heavy thundery downpours for the channel islands, turning very wet across southern england, southwest england and also wales likely to see
2:55 am
some particularly heavy rain through the day, which could give rise to some localised flooding and some transport disruption. that cloud spilling its way northwards, all the while across the midlands, north wales, eventually into northern england. northern ireland not doing too badly — some sunny spells but increasing amounts of cloud. sunny spells and just one or two showers across scotland, although it could stay quite grey and quite murky up towards the far north — 1a degrees there for lerwick. but come further south, a fairly warm feel, particularly for these north sea coasts where it has been so cool over recent days. temperatures getting up into the low 20s. now, that wet weather continuing to spill its way northwards, across parts of england and wales, as we go through monday night into the first part of tuesday morning, something a little bit drier and clearer out towards the west. and that rain will linger for parts of northern england down into the midlands, east anglia as we go through the day on tuesday. further west, though, we will see some spells of sunshine, albeit with some scattered heavy showers.
2:56 am
and temperatures on tuesday, well, it's not going to feel too bad if you get yourself into some sunshine. typically high teens, low 20s celsius, but perhaps a little bit cooler than that where the rain lingers for any length of time. now, as we move into the middle part of the week, this area of high pressure will tend to build. and that means actually on wednesday, a lot of fine weather around. some spells of sunshine, just one or two showers here and there. the frontal system is likely to bring rain into northern ireland later in the day, but ahead of that it is going to be pretty warm. in fact, temperatures down towards the southeast corner could well get to 2a or 25 degrees. now, that drier and warmer weather will hold on for some of us as we head through the end of the week. but generally the further north and west you are across the uk turning unsettled again, turning cooler as well.
