Spain's Fernando Torres celebrates scoring during the UEFA EURO 2012 final soccer match Spain vs. Italy at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine, 01 July 2012.

Can you name Spain’s XI from their 4-0 Euro 2012 final win over Italy?

Euro 2012 was last trophy of a golden era for Spain’s national team, and they secured it in style, beating Italy 4-0 in the final in Kyiv. How well do you remember the game?

Vicente del Bosque’s side was packed with technically proficient midfielders, but that didn’t stop them filling their boots at the Olympic Stadium.

“For Spain there was symmetry and symbolism in success – and style too,” wrote Sid Lowe in his superbly-written Guardian match report from Kyiv.

“The cycle was completed against Italy, the same team against whom it had all begun. Once the team that never won, they have become the team that never lose – European, world and European champions, two consecutive qualifying campaigns with perfect records, 10 wins out of 10, and 10 successive knockout games across two Euros and a World Cup without conceding a goal, stretching back six long years. And now they put four goals past Italy.”

Two first-half goals gave La Roja the lead before two more late on from substitutes Juan Mata and Fernando Torres made the margin of victory emphatic.

What we want you to do, though, is name the XI that Del Bosque sent out to start the match. The time from the office to beat is 01:17.
