Spain came into the UEFA European Futsal Championship after getting through a historic semi final which was historic because it was the first ever goal less knockout game in the history of the tournament.They went on to beat Russia in the inevitable penalty shootout (no body has come up with a better idea of deciding tied games yet so they too had to resort to this historically tried and tested and not wholly satisfactory method).The other finalists Portugal overcame their opponents,Serbia by 5 goals to 1.
Spain went on then to retain their title with a 4 -2 win which incidentally made it a hat trick of futsal titles.
