2023 UEFA European Under-19 final: Portugal vs Italy preview

Posted : 15 July 2023
On Sunday, July 16, Portugal and Italy will face off in the final of the 2023 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. Both teams have previously won the tournament once, with Italy claiming victory in 2003 and Portugal in 2018.
 
Portugal's impressive winning streak continued as they comfortably defeated Norway to secure their place in the final. Meanwhile, Italy's coach, Alberto Bollini, expressed his emotions after his team edged past Spain in a thrilling semi-final match.
 
This will be the fifth U19 EURO final for Italy and the sixth for Portugal. Interestingly, each team's previous championship win came against their current opponents. Italy defeated Portugal 2-0 two decades ago, and Portugal triumphed over Italy in 2018 in an extra-time encounter.
 
The two teams have already faced each other once in the tournament, with Portugal winning 5-1. However, Italy had a player sent off in the first half of that match, which impacted the game's dynamics.
 
Portugal's confidence is high, having won all four of their matches and emerging as the highest-scoring team in the championship with 14 goals. On the other hand, Italy's performance has been inconsistent, scoring five goals less than their opponents.
 
Despite facing a strong and organized Italy team, Portugal remains fearless, according to their coach, Joaquim Milheiro. Meanwhile, Italian midfielder Hugo Félix is determined not to leave empty-handed. It remains to be seen if Italy's newfound momentum can overcome Portugal's ruthlessness in their second encounter in the tournament.
