Thanks to strong performances at the U-21 European Championship, the dream of winning the title is within reach for the German national team: In the final on Saturday, June 28, only one last obstacle remains: their opponents from England, on the way to winning the continental competition in this age group for the fourth time after 2009, 2017, and 2021. The final will kick off at 9 p.m. at the NFS Bratislava Stadium.

The final marks a quick reunion for both teams: The Germans and the English already met at the end of the group stage. Back then, the German national team beat the Young Lions 2-1 in Nitra, despite a complete rotation and a completely new starting eleven, thanks to goals from Ansgar Knauff and Nelson Weiper , and finished the preliminary round without a hitch.

In the Slovakian capital, the defending champions—in 2023, the English, with current Chelsea star Cole Palmer among their players, dramatically won the title for the first time since 1984 ( a 1-0 win against Spain )—are now seeking revenge. But the team led by national coach Lee Carsley and key player Harvey Elliot , who were also in Georgia two years ago, has been warned: In the semifinals, the German national team once again underscored its impressive form with a 3-0 victory over the highly qualified French team.

So on Saturday it will once again depend on the Liverpool FC player for the Young Lions: With his brace against the Netherlands ( 2:1 ), captain Elliot also played a key role in the Carsley eleven reaching the final in the round of the last four.

The final of the U-21 European Championship in Slovakia can also be watched live on free TV. Sat.1 will begin its pre-match coverage at 8:15 p.m. As in previous weeks, Matthias Opdenhövel will host the broadcast, before kickoff at 9 p.m., when commentator Florian Hause will accompany the match, with Markus Babbel serving as expert. The program can be followed on the go via livestream on ran.de or via the streaming service Joyn .
