In the early morning of July 15, Mikel Oyarzabal made the whole world mention his name when he scored the decisive goal in the EURO 2024 final. The goal brought a 2-1 victory for Spain, helping La Roja win the European Championship for the fourth time.
Bachelor of Football
Mikel Oyarzabal was born on April 21, 1997, into a family of Basque origin. Unlike many children who grew up playing street football, seeing football as a way out of poverty, Oyarzabal had a full life from birth.
For this reason, Oyarzabal was greatly influenced inhis upbringing and culture by his family, who were middle class in San Sebastian, a place blessed with beautiful beaches.

Mikel's father, Ernesto Oyarzabal, has always provided for his family of five, including an older sister and a younger sister. Ernesto has played the role of both a father and a coach for the Spanish player, acting as his son's agent despite his busy schedule.
It was the guidance and skillful education of his family that helped Oyarzabal shape his future early. He loved football but understood that life was very complicated and needed a reasonable plan to lead a stable life in the distant future. Therefore, after graduating from high school, Oyarzabal, despite being very busy with training, still invested time to study at university.
A few years ago, Oyarzabal graduated with honors with a bachelor's degree in business studies from the University of Deusto.
A meticulous and thorough person, Oyarzabal has never shown any ostentation in his life. Every week he earns tens of thousands of euros at Real Sociedad but Oyarzabal does not wear designer clothes.
He is often seen wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt, combined with jeans and sneakers. The striker also drives a normal car to the training ground every day. He does not have any tattoos on his body.
Oyarzabal's casual style.
It's hard to catch Oyarzabal hanging out at bars or other busy entertainment venues. Oyarzabal spends time with his family and girlfriend Ainhoa Larrauri.
Oyarzabal and Ainhoa Larrauri have been in love for 9 years, since they were 18 years old. Their love story is as peaceful as their personalities. Ainhoa Larrauri keeps her account private. Meanwhile, Oyarzabal rarely shares pictures of their personal lives on social media. The most recent photo of the two is a post celebrating Larrauri's 18th birthday, 9 years ago.
Which team does Mikel Oyarzabal play for?
Mikel Oyarzabal was trained at Eibar Club. Then Real Sociedad brought him to the youth academy at the age of 14. He quickly showed his talent and was promoted to the first team 4 years later.
Oyarzabal started as a right winger before moving up to the top of the attack. He doesn't have much speed but he plays smartly. He always finds space to move, receive the ball and make the best decisions. The goal against England clearly reflects Mikel Oyarzabal's footballing mindset.
Oyarzabal has spent his entire career at Real Sociedad. He has played 280 games and scored 97 goals, making him one of the club's top 10 scorers in history.

In recent years, Real Sociedad has achieved many successes, including winning the Copa del Rey 2020. In the 2022/23 season, which team will win a place in the Champions League? Those milestones have had a significant impact on Oyarzabal as captain.
Real Sociedad was a stepping stone for Mikel Oyarzabal to progress to the Spanish national teams. He is not a key player but is a regular in the national team calls of coaches Luis Enrique and Luis de la Fuente. He won the European Under-21 Championship and now EURO 2024.
It’s hard to judge Mikel Oyarzabal as an exceptional player. At 27, he’s unlikely to get any better. But he’s still a role model for anyone determined to pursue a career in football, both as a person and as a player.
Mikel Oyarzabal will go down in Spanish football history as the hero in the EURO 2024 final. That is probably what every player wants to make their own mark in their career.
