We’ve reached the big Final of the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, where England and Germany will face off for the title at the Tehelne Pole Stadium in Bratislava, Slovakia.
As the defending champions, England arrives with the same number of gold medals as Germany, a team looking to relive its glory days from 2017 to 2021, when they won 2 out of 3 consecutive finals. Germany is a tough opponent for England, who just last year reached a final for the first time in 14 years. So, recent history might give Germany a slight edge going into this matchup.

England -21 & Germany -21 Squad Analysis
So far, the players with the highest ratings according to experts are mainly defenders like center-back Cresswell and full-back Livramento. Another well-known center-back, Quansah, formerly of Liverpool, may not be at his best right now. In midfield, Alex Scott and McAtee continue to be key players in various ways, supporting high-performing offensive players like Harvey Elliott, who still plays for Liverpool. Elliott scored a brace in the semifinal to lead his team to victory. The attack also features players like Hutchinson and Standfield up front.
Woltemade and Elliott are two of the players with the highest average shots on goal across the whole tournament.
On the German side, there are several players from strong Bundesliga teams, starting with defenders like Collins, Ullrich, and Eintracht’s fullback Ansgar Knauff, who has also played as a winger thanks to his strong attacking skills on the right flank. In midfield, standout performers to watch are Rocco Reitz and captain Eric Martel, both supporting the team’s top player, Nick Woltemade. Woltemade is the team’s and the tournament’s leading scorer with six goals, and also the top assist provider, making him the key player rivals need to keep an eye on.
