First, Pau Cubarsí received the Best Young Player award. The young Barcelona defender fully deserved this recognition, having demonstrated incredible maturity. Cubarsí became a true rock in the Spanish defense and rewrote history, becoming one of the youngest champions on the planet.

The "Golden Glove" for best goalkeeper went to Unai Simón. Spain's shot-stopper clinched the award after conceding only one goal throughout the entire championship. His crucial saves in the knockout stages and his composure in the decisive clash against Argentina proved fundamental to their ultimate victory.

Rodri, meanwhile, was honored with the "Golden Ball" for the tournament's best player. Spain's midfield engine dictated the tempo in every match, controlled proceedings, and once again proved he is the most influential midfielder in modern football.
