“All those who have participated in sporting activities at any level will know how utterly despairing such a result can feel when the prize was so near — and will join me in sending heartfelt sympathy, even as we congratulate Spain.

“But please know that your success in reaching the European Championship final is a really great achievement in itself, and one that brings with it the pride of a nation which will continue to roar for the Three Lions today — and in the many triumphs which I have no doubt lie ahead.”

Congratulations to Spain.
