IT has been 39 years since England U21 secured Euro glory – but that can all change as they take on Spain in THIS Saturday’s mouthwatering final.
Goals from Morgan Gibbs-White, Cole Palmer and Cameron Archer saw the Young Lions brush past Israel in the semi’s on Wednesday.

Furthermore, Lee Carsley’s side have been labelled as favourites to go all the way having conceded no goals throughout the entire competition.
However, Spain are masters of this tournament as La Rojita have lifted three of the last seven European trophies.
