FT: The Famous Torres(trial)
Fernando Torres's goal that gave Spain a 1-0 victory over Germany on Sunday not only decided the Euro 2008 final but was also one of the best in the tournament.
His 33rd minute strike, clipped home from an acute angle after he muscled past Philipp Lahm, was the 77th and final goal to join those that were brilliantly volleyed, headed and fired home -- or even tapped in after bouncing out of a puddle.

It was only the second goal of the tournament for the Liverpool player.
Torres played the final as a lone striker in a 4-1-4-1 formation with Fabregas joining Xavi, Andres Iniesta and David Silva in midfield and Marcos Senna occupying the holding role in front of the back four.
And the formation worked wonders for sure and Germany failed to score.
