The reign of Spain only fell on the plain of the European continent. They had lost their global crown and were a shadow. Football had transformed drastically since Spain painted their pretty patterns all over Kyiv against Italy in the EURO 2012 final. High possession football was disposed of, in its place was gegenpressing.
It ruled Europe, first at club level when Germany's biggest clubs made up the 2013 Champions League final. The following summer, Germany won their fourth World Cup. EURO 2016 was a turning point, where tactical ideologies would collide. And oh yeah: the competition was even bigger than ever. This is EURO 2016.
