Kane given 3/10 rating by L’Equipe as Europe reacts to England losing to Spain

  /  autty

HARRY KANE was rated as the worst player during the Euro 2024 final.

The England captain was unable to inspire the Three Lions to victory at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Nico Williams opened the scoring straight after half-time, but Cole Palmer raised hopes with a brilliant equaliser.

However, the dreams of football coming home were ended as Mikel Oyarzabal netted a late winner.

Reports on the match from around Europe have come in, and it makes for tough reading.

Kane was slammed by French outlet L'Equipe as he was given a 3/10.

This was the lowest rating out of any of the starters on both sides.

Kane struggled in the match and only had one touch inside the Spain penalty area before he was subbed for Ollie Watkins.

They wrote: "Clearly tired, the Bayern Munich player made a series of bad choices, missing several passes that annihilated his team's attacks, picking up a deserved yellow card for an avoidable foul on Fabian Ruiz and being too short on a cross.

"The captain was logically replaced in the 61st minute by Watkins."

The paper also gave low ratings of 4/10 to the likes of Kyle Walker, Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo.

The best England players were given 6/10s and they were Jordan Pickford, John Stones, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham.

Gareth Southgate was also given a 6/10 for his performance on the sidelines.

Gary Neville agreed with the French during his analysis as he claimed that Kane did "not look right physically".

The Spanish news outlets obviously focused on a different aspect of the match as they celebrated Spain's achievement.

Both Marca and AS slapped big pictures of Spain's trophy lift on the front page.

Marca tagged the page wth "The Invincible Armada" while AS went for "Spain is in glory".

Sport also had a picture of the celebration as well as a big spot for Carlos Alcaraz after his Wimbledon triumph.

The outlet wrote "super champions" as they hailed a famous day in the country's sporting history.
