Competition factsUEFA European Football Championship final tournament: Did you know?• Spain (1964, 2008, 2012) and Germany (1972, 1980 – both as West Germany – 1996) are the competition's mostsuccessful sides having lifted the trophy three times each. Only France (1984, 2000) have also triumphed more thanonce.

• Only three teams have ever won the UEFA European Championship on home soil: Spain (1964), Italy (1968) andFrance (1984).

• In 2012 Spain became the first nation to retain the Henri Delaunay Cup, having also won in 2008. The Soviet Union(1960, 1964) and West Germany (1972, 1976) returned to the final as holders only to lose.

• Eight players have appeared in two victorious finals – Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Andrés Iniesta, Xavi Hernández,Cesc Fàbregas and David Silva all started Spain's triumphs in 2008 and 2012, with Fernando Torres starting in 2008and coming on four years later and Xabi Alonso coming on in the 2008 final and starting in 2012. Rainer Bonhof twicepicked up a winners' medal with West Germany (1972, 1980) but did not play in either tournament.

• Berti Vogts was a winner as a player with West Germany in 1972 and as Germany coach in 1996, making him theonly man to triumph in both roles.

• Since 1980, when the final tournament expanded to become an eight-team event, the hosts or co-hosts have onlyfailed to reach the semi-finals – or better – four times: Italy (1980), Belgium (2000), Austria and Switzerland (2008)and Poland and Ukraine (2012).

• UEFA EURO 2020 is Germany's 13th successive UEFA European Championship final tournament – they lastmissed out as West Germany in 1968.

• Three teams have held the UEFA European Championship and FIFA World Cup at the same time. West Germanywon the European title in 1972 and added the world crown two years later, while France claimed the 1998 World Cupand UEFA EURO 2000 and Spain triumphed at UEFA EURO 2008 and the 2010 World Cup. Spain's 2012 EUROvictory made them the first country to win three major tournaments in a row; West Germany were within a shoot-out ofachieving the feat before their 1976 loss to Czechoslovakia.

• For West Germany, Sepp Maier, Franz Beckenbauer, Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck, Paul Breitner, Uli Hoeness andGerd Müller played in both those finals, while Fabien Barthez, Marcel Desailly, Bixente Lizarazu, Lilian Thuram, DidierDeschamps, Youri Djorkaeff, Patrick Vieira, Zinédine Zidane and Christophe Dugarry achieved the feat for France.

• In addition to the 24 players mentioned above, Dino Zoff (Italy 1968, 1982) and Germany's Thomas Hässler andJürgen Klinsmann (1990, 1996) also featured in two final triumphs.

• In 2016 Portugal's Real Madrid pair Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo joined a small group of players to have appeared inEuropean Cup and UEFA European Championship final victories in the same year. Luis Suárez achieved the feat withInternazionale Milano and Spain in 1964, while in 1988 PSV Eindhoven quartet Hans van Breucklen, Ronald Koeman,Barry van Aerle and Gerald Vanenburg were all in the victorious Netherlands side. In 2012 Fernando Torres and JuanMata both appeared in final wins for Chelsea and Spain.

• Wim Kieft and Nicolas Anelka narrowly missed out on this club. A European Champion Clubs' Cup finalist with PSVin 1988, Kieft was an unused substitute in the Netherlands' European Championship triumph, while Anelka wassimilarly thwarted with France in 2000 after appearing in Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League final. Anelka'sMadrid team-mate Christian Karembeu holds the unique position of being an unused substitute in European Cup andEuropean Championship final victories in the same year.
