Centre-right daily El Mundo wrote "From here to eternity".
Other newspapers the termed the all-European final showdown at FIFA World Cup 2010 as 'epic' and 'historic'.
The newspapers hit the news stands after an all-night party at the centre of Madrid, where an estimated 250,000 watched the nail-biting match in which Spain upset the Dutch 1-0 in with an extra-time goal from Andres Iniesta.
