Spain striker Fernando Torres has described his side's Euro 2008 victory as a 'dream come true'.
Torres struck the only goal of the game in the 33rd minute at Ernst Happel stadium on Sunday night as Spain defeated three-time winners Germany.
The victory allowed Spain to lift their first piece of international silverware since the 1964 European Championship and Torres has admitted his delight.
Spain recorded victories in all of their games in Austria and Switzerland and Liverpool forward Torres believes the correct team won this summer's finals.
"It's a dream come true," said Torres.
History
"At last justice has been done because the team that played the best football won the tournament.
"I feel a tremendous joy. It still hasn't sunk in what we've achieved.
"This is my first title and I hope it's the first of many. We are used to watching finals on television, but today we were here and we won.
"The team that has played the best football in the tournament has won the title and now we have a place in European football history."
And Torres believes Spain must now look to add the 2010 World Cup to their trophy cabinet as preparations begin for the tournament in South Africa in two years' time.
"It's our first title (together) and we hope it will be the first of many," added Torres. "We've still got the World Cup to come, we have to be ambitious."
