Spain won the European Championships in Berlin on Sunday after beating England 2-1.
The Gibraltar Football Association (FA) have revealed they will make an official complaint to UEFA following Manchester City star Rodri and Spain’s Euro 2024 celebrations.
La Roja claimed a record-breaking fourth European Championships crown on Sunday after beating England 2-1 in Berlin’s Olympiastadion. Rodri was brought off at half-time, with the score at 0-0, after picking up an injury as Mikel Oyarzabal scored a late winner.

“The Gibraltar FA to make official complaint to UEFA following Spanish Men’s National Team Euro 2024 celebrations. The Gibraltar FA has noted the extremely provocative and insulting nature of the celebrations around the Spanish Men’s national team winning Euro 2024,” the statement read.
“The Association is this morning taking advice on the filing of a complaint to European Football’s governing body, UEFA, in relation to the unacceptable chanting and songs, relating to Gibraltar, sung by Spain’s Men’s National Team players after winning Euro 2024. Football has no place for behaviour of this nature.”
Gibraltar is an enclave in the south of Spain but has been under British rule since 1713, but Spain continues to claim sovereignty of the territory. The country has been a full member of UEFA since 2013 and has competed in previous World Cup and European Championships qualification campaigns.
