2008- Wesley Sneijder
Before Holland suffered heartbreak in the quarterfinals, they steamrolled through the group stage at Euro 2008.
In their 4-1 blowout of France, it was the final goal by Wesley Sneijder that impressed many fans.
Going to his right, Sneijder was able to curl the ball left and past French keeper Gregory Coupet.
As we all know, the Dutch could not go on to win the title and crashed out against Russia in the quarterfinals
2008- Fernando Torres
This was the last goal scored at the European Championships and it was the goal that won it all for Spain.
Fernando Torres, back when he knew how to score goals, flicked the ball over German keeper Jens Lehmann in the 33rd minute to clinch the title for Spain.
The title was the first since 1964 for La Furia Roja, and they then went on to win the World Cup two years later with almost the same squad that competed in Austria and Switzerland.
