Spain recorded the biggest European Championship final victory of all-time to defeat Italy 4-0 and become the first team to win three successive tournaments after success at Euro 2012.
First-half goals from David Silva and Jordi Alba and late efforts from substitutes Fernando Torres and Juan Mata confirmed La Roja as the first team to record three successive major tournament victories.
And they did it with the most awesome display of passing power, which made a mockery of all those who had questioned them beforehand.
But Italy were not disgraced and would have held out hopes of a comeback until Cesare Prandelli's final replacement Thiago Motta was stretchered off within four minutes of his arrival, leaving his team-mates to battle through the final half hour with 10 men.
Ultimately though, Spain's display was a fitting end to the best European Championships in almost three decades.
Four players in particular, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Andres Iniesta and Xavi, deserve a special mention after starting all three finals, in Vienna, Johannesburg and now Ukraine.
But, as 'Ole' rang around this magnificent stadium, it was a night to glory in tiki-taka - and the players who put it into practice.
In the group stage, Spain thumped the Republic of Ireland 4-0 in Gdansk. Fernando Torres scored twice as Giovanni Trapattoni's side were outclassed.
Here was the reaction of the then RTÉ panel afterwards.
