Tino Livramento and his England teammates v Germany – Best of luck in today’s Euros final | OneFootball

Tino Livramento and England v Germany in today’s Euros Final.

At 8pm (UK time) in Bratislava on Saturday, the final of the Under 21 Euros kicks off.

The match can be watched live on Channel 4.

Good luck to Tino Livramento and his England teammates, as they look to keep the Under 21 Euros title won in 2023. Lee Carsley also in charge those finals, as England crowned champions and Anthony Gordon named player of the tournament.

Germany have a 100 per cent record this month, winning all five games so far in this tournament taking place in Slovakia.

England winning three, losing one and drawing one, Tino Livramento starting four of the five games and surprisingly on the bench for that one defeat, which was 2-1 against Germany in the group stage.

A major surprise if the Newcastle United star doesn’t start in this final and assuming he does, interesting to see whether it is on the right or left. Lee Carsley had been using Tino Livramento on the left but then switched him to his favoured right side for the semi-final win over the Netherlands.

BBC Sport asked the question earlier this week – How important is winning U21 Euros to future senior success?

How important is winning U21 Euros to senior success?

How important is winning the competition? What do the winners usually go on to do?

Do the winners go on to have senior success?

Of the 24 teams to win the European Under-21 Championship, 10 of them have gone on to win either the World Cup or the senior Euros in the next 12 years.

Nine of those have featured players from that successful U21 squad.

Of course there is still time for Germany, winners in 2017 and 2021, and England in 2023 to do so.

Another five have reached a final in that time frame but lost.

1994, 1996, 2000 and 2004 Italy (2006 World Cup)

2009 Germany (2014 World Cup)

2011 Spain (Euro 2012)

2013, 2019 Spain (Euro 2024)
