The Spanish Selection Under-21 fell in the final of the European category 1-0 against England and couldn’t raise his sixth continental gimp. A lucky goal from Curtis Jones on the edge of the break that should not go up on the scoreboard marked the cruel fate of the team santi deniawho died on shore.
ARNAU TENAS Sober
The best player in Spain in the final. His stops and his interventions to deal with the side centers supported those from Denia.
VICTOR GOMEZ Medium
He knew better than stopping Smith-Rowe’s attacks and he hardly allowed himself to be seen in the attack. In the last stretch he was replaced by Barrenetxea.
PACHECO firefighter
The Spanish defense suffered badly, especially from the flanks on counterattacks, but the centre-backs stepped up to prevent greater harm.
WALLS Suffering
Anthony Gordon’s mobility and imbalance wreaked havoc on the Spanish rearguard and one of those who suffered the most was Paredes.
MIRANDA Deep
He started with doubts against Cole Palmer but recovered from his bad start. In the final stretch he was one of the strongest hitters but he lacked accuracy in the centres.
WHITE Anchor
The best midfielder in Spain in the final. He had almost no help from Baena and Sancet but he gave order and meaning to the game and avoided some dangerous counters
BAENA Dire
He played a disastrous final from the start until Denia had no choice but to replace him. Always overexcited, he doesn’t have to deal with rivals to the point where he could be sent off in the second half for a game-stopping kick. In addition, his was the loss of the ball that caused the counterattack where the 1-0 was born.
Covered by SANCET
The midfielder can hardly show his mobility between the lines as he is always well guarded. He didn’t create chances nor could he do any damage with his arrivals from the second line.
RODRI Diluted
From more to less in the championship, he was overlooked in the final, as he did in the quarterfinals against Switzerland. He failed to create danger or scoring opportunities
ABEL RUIZ Inconsolable
He could have been Spain’s hero but he missed a self-inflicted penalty which meant extra time.
SERGIO GOMEZ Lucid
He was Spain’s best player in the late rush, putting good loads into place with his usual clear vision.
THE CHANGES
GABRI VEIGA Harmless
The midfielder never performed at his best level in the tournament. He came on for Sancet with half an hour to go but had little impact on the game.
AIMAR OROZ Sterile
Like Veiga, he came in to have more of a presence in the area but was not noticed. He had the boots to deny after the penalty that Abel missed.
RODRIGO RIQUELME Electrical
He was the substitute who tried the most as a shock. He demanded the ball and tackled as best he could but he had no point of finesse.
BARRENTXEA
He came in to push down the right wing but couldn’t clear his pair. Madueke is a true nightmare for the realist every time he faces him.
CAMEL doesn’t notice
He went in to charge the place but his colleagues couldn’t find him.
