#SPAIN: Manel Navarro wins the ticket to Kyiv!!

Objetivo Eurovisión 2017 has just finished, and xxx has triumphed over the other five participants.

It was a very close run thing. The three-member jury awarded 34 points (out of 36) to Manel. The Spanish public, however, only awarded him 24 (out of 36), making him only the third favourite. The public preferred Mirela, tying her and Manel on 58.

So what happened? The jury had the casting vote. They voted 2-1 in favour of Manel. A slightly shocked studio audience wasn’t totally happy. But it’ll be interesting to see how Manel’s laid-back vibe will sit in Kyiv.

Are you happy with the result? Would you have preferred a different song? Tell us what you think.
