Portugal had come back from 2-0 down in both their opening win against Serbia and their semi-final elimination of Spain, and they did so again to retain the title in the first 16-team final tournament, adding it to the FIFA Futsal World Cup they had claimed in 2021.
Futsal EURO 2018: Portugal 3-2 Spain (aet)
Ricardinho 0'59'', Bruno Coelho 38'18'' 49'05'' (2p); Tolrà 18'54'', Lin 31'36''

Spain: Paco Sedano (GK), Oritz, Pola, Miguelín, Alex; Jesús Herrero (GK), Tolrà, Bebe, Adolfo, Solano, Lin, Lozano, Rafa Usin, Joselito
So long in the shadow of their neighbours, Portugal eclipsed Spain in a dramatic final. Bruno Coelho recovered from a first-half knock to equalise late on and then convert a ten-metre penalty in extra time with Ricardinho off the pitch injured; the Player of the Tournament having kick-started the drama with his first-minute goal (Ricardinho's seventh of the finals).

Rômulo 19'55'', Robinho 31'57'', Milovanov 39'45''; Alex 8'08'', Pola 15'12 16'45'', Rivillos 16'10, 35'37, Miguelín 30'50'' 34'51''

Spain reclaimed the title, and in so doing inflicted Russia's third straight final defeat, with a dominant display in Belgrade.
Futsal EURO 2014: Italy 3-1 Russia
Gabriel Lima 6'02'', Murilo 13'50'', Giasson 18'56''; Eder Lima 9'33''
Sportpaleis, Antwerp
Att: 11,558
Italy: Mammarella (GK), Gabriel Lima, Alex Merlim, Saad, Giasson; Miarelli (GK), Ercolessi, Romano, Leggiero, Honorio, De Luca, Vampeta, Fortino, Murilo
Russia: Gustavo (GK), Shayakhmetov, Eder Lima, Abramov, Robinho; Poddubny (GK), Preverzev, Lyskov. Sergeev, Kutusov, Pula, Cirilo, Fukin, Milovanov
Russia had ended Spain's nine-year, four-tournament run as champions in the semis but in front of the largest crowd ever for a final were pipped by Italy. Eder Lima had given Russia hope with his eighth goal of the finals but, inspired by captain Gabriel Lima, the Azzurri were always on top.
Futsal EURO 2012: Russia 1-3 Spain (aet)
Pula 33'15''; Lozano 39'26'' 47'58''', Borja 50'00''
Arena Zagreb, Zagreb
Att: 7,500
Russia: Gustavo (GK), Prudnikov, Sergeev, Abramov, Maevski; Zuev (GK), Pereverzev, Pula, Cirilo, Fukin, Milovanov, Nugumanov
Spain: Luis Amado (GK), Torras, Kike, Rafa Usín, Alemao; Juanjo (GK), Ortiz, Lozano, Borja, Lin, Miguelín, Aicardo
Spain made it four titles in a row in an epic final. Pula seemed to have won it for Russia (who also held out for two minutes after Cirilo's red card) but Sergio Lozano's deflected equaliser forced extra time and his second flew past Gustavo in similar style. Borja made certain with the final kick, from inside his own half into an unguarded goal, on the buzzer. Spain's Luis Amado and Kike both celebrated fifth EURO titles.
Futsal EURO 2010: Portugal 2-4 Spain
Gonçalo 37'49'', Joel Queirós 38'28''; Ortiz 8'16'', Javi Rodríguez 12'02'', Lin 35'38'', Daniel 39'38''
Főnix Arena, DebrecenAtt: 4,845
Portugal: Bebé (GK), Pedro Costa, Arnaldo Pereira, Gonçalo, Pedro Cary; João Benedito (GK), Evandro, Leitão, Joel Queirós, Cardinal, Israel, João Matos
Spain: Luis Amado (GK), Álvaro, Javi Rodríguez, Kike, Borja; Juanjo (GK), Ortiz, Torras, Fernandão, Juanra, Lin, Daniel
Javi Rodríguez brought the crowd to their feet with an audacious back-heel to make it 2-0, his 99th international goal at the end of an incredible Spain career, and looked certain to lift the trophy when Lin made it three. But Portugal, in their first final despite Ricardinho's injury absence from the expanded 12-team tournament, launched a comeback. This was only thwarted in the dying seconds by Daniel, who like Javi was bowing out of international futsal after a fourth EURO title.
Futsal EURO 2007: Italy 1-3 Spain
Feller 29'44''; Marcelo 8'45'', Daniel 21'51, Javi Rodríguez 26'52
Multiusos Gondomar Coração de Ouro, Porto

Spain: Luis Amado (GK), Álvaro, Kike, Andreu, Marcelo; Juanjo (GK), Ortiz, Javi Eseverri, Torras, Javi Rodríguez, Borja, Daniel
Spain, who had pipped hosts Portugal on penalties in a tense semi-final, became the first team to retain the crown as they overcame an Italy side who had conceded just once before the decider. Marcelo, who scored for Spain in their 2004 World Cup final win over Italy, repeated the trick and they pulled away in the second half before the Azzurri were given hope by goalkeeper Alexander Feller, beating the otherwise unassailable Amado from distance.
Futsal EURO 2005: Spain 2-1 Russia
Andreu 9, Cogorro 21; Dushkevich 31
CEZ Arena, Ostava
Att: 3,688

Russia: Stepanov (GK), Shayakhmetov, Fukin, Markin, Maevski; Zuev (GK), Malyshev, Khamadiyev, Dushkevich, Ivanov, Abyshev, Levin
Having regained their world title the previous year, Spain won back the European crown. Andreu opened the scoring from a corner and the second goal arrived when Cogorro pounced after Kike's shot had hit the bar. Although Konstantin Douchkevitch pulled one back, Spain held on.
Futsal EURO 2003: Italy 1-0 Ukraine
Bácaro 30
Palamaggió, Caserta
Att: 6,000
Italy: Angelini (GK), Grana, Carlinhos, Zaffiro, Bertoni; Ripesi (GK), Vicentini, Rocha, Moratelli, Bácaro, Foglia, Morgado
Ukraine: Popov (GK), Shaytanov, Kosenko, Sytin, Koridze; Kornyeyev (GK), Bezuglyy, Kudlay, Melnikov, Deynega, Moskvychov, Pylypiv
Hosts Italy thrilled a fervent home crowd courtesy of Vinicius Bácaro's free-kick midway through the second half. Gianfranco Angelini kept what remains the only final clean sheet as Ukraine suffered a second straight loss in a decider; they are yet to reach another.
Futsal EURO 2001: Spain 2-1 Ukraine (aet, golden goal)
Riquer Antón 32, Javi Sánchez 44 (golden goal); Melnikov 26
Luzhniki Sports Hall, Moscow

Ukraine: Kornyeyev (GK), Varenytsya, Bezuglyy, Kosenko, Koridze; Sukhomlinov (GK), Mansurov, Melnikov, Chernyshov, Shaytanov, Moskvychov, Pylypiv
Georgiy Melnikov's deflected opener was cancelled out when Alberto Riquer Antón finished off a fine team move. So this final was settled, uniquely, by a golden goal as the great Javi Sánchez scooped a loose ball in after Julio's kick-in. That added the EURO title to the World Cup, Spain having ended Brazil's monopoly of the global gong in 2000.
Futsal EURO 1999: Russia 3-3 Spain (aet, Russia win 4-2 on pens)
Bely 27, Alylekberov 33, Eremenko 34; Lorente 8 35, Javi Sánchez 34
Palacio de los Deportes, Granada
Att: 7,500
Russia: Denisov (GK), Eremenko, Agafonov, Verizhnikov, Alekberov; Samokhin (GK), Abianov, Markin, Gorine, Bely, Chugunov, Tkachouk
Spain: Jesús (GK), Julio, Santi Herrero, Andreu, Vicentín; Luis Amado (GK), Joan, Pato, Lorente, Javi Sánchez, Riquer Antón, Arnaldo Ferreira
Russia won the first full official eight-team UEFA European Futsal Championship, and the hero was Konstantin Eremenko, one of the greatest scorers the sport has seen. His ten-metre penalty in the decider, which briefly restored Russia's lead in a frantic period, was his 11th goal of the finals. It came in a spell where it went from 1-1 to 3-3 in around two minutes, Spain equalising twice almost immediately after conceding. Come the shoot-out it was Eremenko who converted the winner, Riquer Antón and Joan having been denied by Oleg Denisov.
Futsal EURO 1996: Spain 5-3 Russia
Vicentín 11 27 27 33, Paulo Roberto 20; Kisselev 20, Eremenko 22, 32

Att: 4,300
Spain: Jesús (GK), Fran, Vicentín, Pato, Lorente; Juanjo (GK), Julio, Javi Limones, Javi Sánchez, Paulo Roberto, Adeva
Russia: Samokhin (GK), Eremenko, Alekberov, Zakerov, Gorine; Denisov (GK), Lennikov, Verizhnikov, Ianchine, Kisselev, Bely, Eremine
The six-team finals in Córdoba concluded the experimental UEFA European Futsal Tournament, which then attained championship status for its next edition. Spain and Russia, as they later did many times in years to come, reached the final and four goals from captain Vicentín, particularly the two that took it from 2-2 to 4-2 within seconds, gave the hosts victory in a thriller. Another legend, Paulo Roberto, also struck right on half-time straight after Russia had levelled. Eremenko, scoring twice and making the other for Russia, was sent off but would have his moment of glory three years afterwards.
