England captain David Beckham's wayward penalty in the European Football Championship quarter-final against Portugal has ended up in northern Spain.

England's first attempt in the shoot-out which followed Thursday's 2-2 draw saw the ball land in the hands of a 25-year-old Spaniard who said he was taking it home to Galicia.

"I play basketball and when the ball came in my direction, I jumped, caught the ball with one hand and put it under my shirt," Pablo Carral told the Portuguese sports daily A Bola on Sunday.

"I'm keeping it as a great trophy.

"We were sitting in row Q. So you can imagine how much that shot missed by."
