In the build-up to UEFA EURO 2016, UEFA.com is trawling through the annals to pick out the best stories, characters, goals and highlights from the 14 previous final tournaments.
What to watch out for this week
- Watch highlights of Spain's triumph – the end of a long wait
- Watch the best goals, including from Zlatan Ibrahimović and Cristiano Ronaldo
- Xavi Hernández discusses the "beautiful football" Spain played
- Highlights of Turkey's incredible win against Croatia, and EURO's other great comebacks
Each week is devoted to a different tournament, with the next seven days looking back at the 2008 edition in Austria and Switzerland. We are following a broadly similar pattern each week, opening up with the team of the tournament on a Monday. On Tuesdays we will look at a particularly iconic image and ponder where the protagonists are now, while Wednesdays will be your chance to watch the best goals from that year's tournament.
Every Thursday we will hear from our 'EURO history makers', with Friday dedicated to a different record or milestone each week. The weekend will begin with a study of one of the quirkier characters or tales – our EURO cult heroes – and the week will come to a close with video highlights of that year's final.
In addition to all that, there will also be a raft of further individual match highlights.
