Spain stars have decried their 'cruel' defeat at the hands of a 'lucky' England squad who successfully defended their European Championship crown after a dramatic penalty shoot-out win.
La Roja captain Irene Paredes claimed her team 'deserved it more', while two-time reigning Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati - who missed her effort in the shoot-out - said the world champions were 'far superior' to the Lionesses.
The assessment of two of Spain's biggest stars is backed up the statistics which heavily favoured Montse Tome's side. Spain ended the match with 22 shots to England's eight, 65 per cent possession and almost 350 more passes.
