Match overview
France lifted their maiden major trophy as Platini’s free-kick squirmed under Arconada before Bellone sealed victory on the counter in stoppage time. Even Le Roux’s late dismissal could not deny the hosts, whose midfield quartet dominated possession to cap a flawless tournament on home soil.
Trivia
Platini’s ninth goal set a European Championship single-edition record that still stands. Spain’s captain Luis Arconada never played for the national team again after his fumble, while Hidalgo stepped down days later, ending an eight-year reign with France unbeaten in 30 consecutive home matches.
