⛳ Prague City (Czech Republic).

▶Spain's sixth victory in a European Under-18 Men's Championship came in the Czech Republic at the end of a week in which the team, captained by Asís de Bastida and coached by Txomin Hospital, demonstrated that to achieve such an ambitious goal, a group must combine talent, commitment, and camaraderie. Jon Rahm, Adriá Arnaus, and company overcame everything thanks to their unity.

Pep Anglés, Mario Galiano, Javier Sainz, and David Morago completed the brilliant sextet that overcame adversity in the form of formidable rivals in the Czech Republic. Their victory in the final (5-2) was a just reward for impeccable teamwork. Spain was the perfect sum of six talents dedicated to the team.

The pairs of Jon Rahm and Mario Galiano, and Javier Sainz and Pep Anglés took the first steps towards victory by winning their respective points against an Austrian team that included players who are now Tour de France veterans, such as Robin Goger and Matthias Schwab. In the afternoon, Jon Rahm quickly dispatched the first singles match, all but sealing the tie.

Spain reached the final after a remarkable first phase, where they finished second, and then defeated Ireland in the quarterfinals and Denmark in the semifinals. In both cases, the victory was by the narrowest of margins (4-3), demonstrating the team's ability to handle moments of maximum pressure. Rahm's epic victory on the 23rd hole against Ireland's Jack Hume will remain etched in memory as one of the highlights of the week.
▶Spain thus added its sixth victory in a European Under-18 Men's Team Championship after those achieved in the editions of

1980, 1990, 1996, 1997 and 2002. Once again, quality and unity was the perfect combination.
