Spain and Hungary UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Spain boasts a rich history in the UEFA European Championships, standing as a three-time champion. Germany is the only other nation to have won this tournament on three occasions. La Roja's dominance in European football was most evident in their back-to-back triumphs at Euro 2008 and Euro 2012. Their brand of possession-based football known as 'tiki-taka’ took the world by storm.
On the other hand, Hungary has a far more humble history in the European Championships. Their golden era came in the 1950s, but Hungary remains a team with a rich footballing heritage. Euro 1964 marked their best performance in the competition, reaching the semi-finals and securing 3rd place by beating Denmark.
After participating at Euro 1972, Hungary were not to be seen again at another European Championship until Euro 2016. In that edition, Hungary qualified top of a group that featured eventual tournament winners, Portugal. Yet, they were thrashed 4-0 by a star-studded Belgium team in the round of 16.
