Euro 2012 final goalscorer Jordi Alba voiced his delight with Spain's comprehensive 4-0 triumph over Italy in Kiev on Sunday (local time).
Spain became the first national side in history to successfully defend their European title, courtesy of goals from David Silva, Jordi Alba, Fernando Torres and Juan Mata, and the 23-year-old was overwhelmed with their success.
"My team-mates had made history before, but this was my first European Championship. I'm very happy and I can't really believe everything that's happening," Jordi Alba told Telecinco.
"I am delighted with this victory. Now it's time to enjoy the success with the national team. Euro 2012 has been very good for us."
The left-back then went on to discuss his imminent move from Valencia to Barcelona, and thanked the people who had supported him over the years.
"Valencia and Barcelona have reached an agreement, everything went well," he said.
"I thank the people from (home town) L'Hospitalet, my family and my friends."
Jordi Alba will ink a five-year deal with Barcelona upon completion of his medical.
Meanwhile, Vicente Del Bosque believes Jordi Alba's second goal which put Spain up 2-0 ultimately clinched the Euro 2012 title.
The 61-year-old, who masterminded Spain to their third consecutive international title, insisted there was no looking back after Alba had put his side two goals to the good.
"They have given a huge effort. Our first goal damaged them (Italy), then the second was definitive," Del Bosque said.
"We had a lot of respect for Italy. They have been a tough rival, but we went ahead, maturing in the game."
The Spain coach's tactics had come in for criticism throughout the tournament but he stuck to his guns by deciding not to field a recognised striker, instead choosing Cesc Fabregas as a false nine and he was adamant it was the right decision.
"I did what I thought was best, and nothing else" he said.
"I dedicate it (the win) to Spanish football and my family, especially.
"This is for everyone."
Spain won the tournament without their highest scoring player David Villa, who bagged four goals at the 2008 championships, and talismanic defender Carles Puyol but Del Bosque insisted they will be present to join in the celebrations.
"I've seen Puyol and Villa and told them to go out and celebrate, they are part of this," said the former Real Madrid manager.
"They have been very important."
