| The Spanish team is being hailed as one of the best ever |
Tens of thousands have turned out in the streets of the Spanish capital Madrid to welcome the national football team after their victory at Euro 2012.
King Juan Carlos received the team at Madrid's Zarzuela Palace before they began a parade in an open-top bus.
The parade ended in a victory rally in the central Plaza de Cibeles.
The squad's 4-0 victory over Italy in Kiev on Sunday made them the first-ever team to win three successive major international tournaments.
The crowd at the rally, most of them wearing the team's red and yellow kit, were entertained by musicians who joined the players on a stage.
"Each of you is a good player, but as a team you are formidable," King Juan Carlos told them.
"You know how to play together, how to combine your own skills with those of your teammates," he added.
Coach Vicente del Bosque hailed Spain's "great generation of footballers".
