On Saturday, July 8, in Batumi, Georgia, the final of Euro 2023 (U21) was held between the youth teams of England and Spain, which knocked out the Ukrainian team from the tournament in the semifinals.
Euro 2023 (U21). The final
England - Spain - 1:0 (Jones, 45+4). On 90+7 minutes, Abel Ruiz (Spain) missed a penalty.
The British approached the decisive match without losing a single ball in this tournament. Lee Carsley’s wards didn’t concede this time either, and scored their only goal in the fourth stoppage minute in the first half, when Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones scored.
The Spaniards had a great chance to level the score in the 90+7th minute, when Abel Ruiz earned a penalty, but the victim himself did not convert a 11-meter penalty without outplaying the goalkeeper.
Thus, for the third time in history, and for the first time since 1984, England won the continental championship at youth level. But the Pyreneans, who have five league titles, could not replenish their collection and become the sole champions in the number of trophies (in Italy, there are also five won cups).
