England vs Spain U21 EURO final: All you need to know
Posted : 07 July 2023
England and Spain are set to face off in the final of the tournament in Batumi, having both displayed strong performances throughout. England has matched Spain's 2013 achievement by winning every game and keeping a clean sheet.
Spain, who won the title in 2013, will be hoping to repeat their success as they aim for their sixth championship title, surpassing Italy's record.
While England has only reached one final since 1984, losing to Germany in 2009, Spain has appeared in nine finals, indicating their winning pedigree. The Spanish team, including Antonio Blanco, Sergio Gómez, Juan Miranda, and Abel Ruiz, along with coach Santi Denia, is seeking to complete a treble after previous successes in the U17 EURO in 2017 and the U19 EURO in 2019.
The clash between the two teams raises the question of which style of play will prevail. Both teams prefer possession-based football, so one side will need to adjust. England's squad, with players like Anthony Gordon and Morgan Gibbs-White known for their pace and directness, could pose a threat to Spain's backline.
However, Abel Ruiz and Sergio Gómez, who have each scored three goals in the tournament, will present a challenge for England's solid defense, which has yet to concede a goal in the competition.
