Andres Iniesta describes Spain's achievement as "magical" as they win their third consecutive major final with victory over Italy at Euro 2012.

Andres Iniesta has described Spain's record-breaking achievement as "magical" after they beat Italy 4-0 to lift the European Championship on Sunday night.

The convincing triumph has seen Vicente Del Bosque's side become the first in international history to win three consecutive major finals.

Despite accusations that their style is 'boring', Iniesta believes that their success speaks for itself.

"Everybody has their own point of view and we are not here saying our game is the most beautiful of them all, but this achievement is unique," he told reporters.

"It's magical. Something that cannot be repeated. We still haven't really realised how great this is. Spanish football is living great years. We are very complete as a football side and we have to be proud of that."

Iniesta was named Man of the Match for his performance at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev.
