[In Pictures] “What a night!”: Australian cricketer Cameron Green relishes every moment of Spain’s historic Euros 2024 win
Australian all-rounder Cameron Green, who is enjoying a vacation in Barcelona, basked in the revelry as Spain won Euro 2024. La Roja defeated England 2-1 in the final on July 14 to win their fourth title. Meanwhile, it was the Three Lions' second consecutive defeat in the Euro final; they lost to Italy in 2021.
Green was a part of the 15-member Australian team for the 2024 T20 World Cup that failed to qualify for the semi-final. He didn't play in any of the games and had to watch the proceedings from the bench.
The Australian all-rounder appears to be enjoying his time off from the game. He and his girlfriend, Emily Redwood, watched the Spain vs England final at Plaza Catalunya, a large square in central Barcelona.
Green posted a video on Instagram of fans cheering on Spain's victory in the square and a photo of himself and his girlfriend from a rooftop restaurant. He captioned the post:
"What a night!🇪🇸⚽ #euros."
Green also posted an Instagram story showing people having fun on the streets of Barcelona. In the video, crowds could be seen everywhere, excitedly dancing and waving the Spanish flag.
Australia will next be seen in action in a three-match T20I series against Scotland in September.
