‘Football has come home’ -Fans react as England U21 win the 2023 European Championship against Spain 1-0 in tense final

England beat Spain in the final of the 2023 U 21 European Championship 1-0 on Saturday.  The Three Lions have been all about polishing young talent and getting them into proper shape so that they are all in readiness when it comes to playing for their country. While the young side was engaged in this process, England have also managed to create history by winning the championship.  The Three Lions have shown what the young side can do.

For England, it has not been the best of times when it comes to penalties as they have bottled up previously when it came to these situations. The Three Lions were on top of the game for the most part as they had a 1-0 lead. When Spain’s Ruiz came in and scored in the 96th minute of the final people thought that England would not be at their best when it comes to penalties and the score would become 1-1.

I told my mates back home that I was going to save the Penalty – James Trafford

But this young group of footballers did not flinch under pressure and delivered the goods for their side. James Trafford the young goalkeeper was England’s rock as he prevented Ruiz from scoring a penalty and capped off the tournament by being the only player to get through the entire tournament without giving away a single goal. He kept six clean sheets throughout the tournament and showed what he was capable of. He kept well during the penalty and made sure England’s lead of 1-0 was preserved.

“I told everyone this morning I was going to save a pen and when it was a penalty, I knew I was going to save it, so it was pretty easy, to be honest,” the 20-year-old said to Channel 4. “I told all my mates back home I was going to save one,” Trafford said. “The manner in which this England squad has progressed through the tournament has been hugely impressive, and to do it without conceding a goal is simply remarkable,” Mark Bullingham FA Chief Executive said.
