Liverpool (EFE).- The Swedish Loreen has achieved this Saturday with her song “Tattoo” her second personal victory in Eurovision, while Spain with Blanca Paloma and her “Eaea” has finished in 17th position.
Loreen’s triumph marks the seventh victory for her country, making her the first woman to achieve such a feat and her country the other major power at the festival as they tie Ireland’s record.
Second was the Finnish Käärijä and third was the Israeli Noa Kirel, with Blanca Paloma from Elche and her Flemish lullaby “EaEa” classified in seventeenth place, which leaves her far from the “top 5” initially predicted. She has been ninth for the juries, but her performance has obtained the lowest note in the televoting of the 26 contestant countries.
It was in a final held at the Liverpool Arena in the British city of the same name and birthplace of the Beatles due to the impossibility of Ukraine, the current champion, hosting the event in its territory due to the war with Russia.
With Loreen’s victory, Eurovision will return to Sweden in 2024 just on the 50th anniversary of this country’s first triumph with its most emblematic artists, ABBA with the theme “Waterloo”.
