On Saturday evening it is demonstrably the draw of the entire U21 European Championship so far, while Spain is taking on England in the quarterfinals.
It is of course a repeat of the 2023 final, when the goal of Curtis Jones was sufficient to see La Rojita in the first half of the injury time and England lifts the trophy for the first time in 39 years.
The game will also be reminded for a controversial fine that is given to Spain at the end of the game, but the spot kick of Abel Ruiz was saved by James Trafford in the ninth minute of injury time.
Spain gets an immediate chance of revenge
Now there is an immediate chance of revenge and Spain Triumph must, it would set them to reach their sixth final in the last eight U21 European Championship Tournaments.
The side of Santi Denia is one of the form teams as can be expected, who win two (3-2 versus Slovakia and 2-1 vs Romania) and draw one (1-1 US) of their three group A matches.

It is worth noting that in all three matches and in their opener against the hosts they have admitted, Spain wasted a lead of two goals and then grabs a winner at death.
It also took two goals in the last five minutes against Romania to see them at home, and it is clear that under pressure under pressure is still vulnerable.
England has already had ups and downs in the tournament
In comparison, the tournament of England has already had a good part of UPS and Downs, in which the young people of Lee Carsley won one (3-1 versus the Czech Republic), a (0-0 vs Slovenia) and loses there (2-1 versus Germany).
If the Young Lions will be at the expense of La Rojita, they must clearly close the creative players of Spain on every occasion.

The Pablo Torre of Barcelona always dictates the ebb and the flow of the game and although his 89.5%passing status against Romania was remarkable, it was still not close to Crishian Mosquera (95.1%) or Hugo Bueno (97.8%).
In fact, almost every player in the entire Spain team is comfortable with the ball at their feet. 571 fits into the game of Romania were only five less than Treble's amount tried by their opponents (172).

Of these, 515 were accurate for a collective accuracy of 90.2%. Not only could the Romanians not only control the game for long periods, but when they succeeded in carrying out some passages of playing, the benefit was quickly lost as a result of the fact that they can only deliver an accurate pass 68.2% of the time.
A shoot on the visibility policy also helped La Rojita while she peppered the goal of Razvan Sava with 23 shots over 90 minutes.
Spain will be fresher for quarter -final test
“Spain has been one of the clear sparks in the tournament. Their style is very 'on-out' and England has not yet confronted that kind of football in the tournament,” said Joshsaldson of FlashScore, who is at the tournament.
“Although they have admitted goals in Onportune Times, they were able to bounce back, something that the opponents of Saturday have not been able to do.
“They also rotated heavily against Italy for their last group game and will be the fresher of the two on their way to Trnava.

“In the meantime, England has become a very predictable team to play against. They have had the most possession in the tournament, but they are easy to defend.
“The absence of Liam Delap is really felt because, without a striker, none of the attackers of England is able to stretch the defense. Their other issue when making changes to the system is the tight turnaround of the tournament.
“They only have three days to sort this out before the quarterfinals, which gives Lee Carsley very little opportunity to change things.”
The Premier League players of England did not stand out
The last group match of England against Germany – calling memories of the epic collisions between the senior teams from both countries – was a lesson in managing a game, even if you are not the protagonists.
The Germans scored with their only two attempts on goal in the game and only played 330 fits compared to the 642 of England. The young lions also dominated the possession, so that the ball kept 67% of the time.
18 Schoten should have produced more than the one goal of Alex Scott 14 minutes in time, and was a timely memory that the Carsley side should be a lot more economical with their finishing.
Players such as Archie Gray, Ethan Nwaneri, Elliot Anderson, Tino Livramento and Harvey Elliott have all had a reasonable number of Premier League experience, and together they have seen the lion's share of the ball in the group competitions, but without necessarily the benefit of insisting on the benefit.
By way of another example, Slovenia only had seven accents in the English box during their game, compared to 43 on the other side for the young lions for whom Nwaneri had as many touches as the entire Slovenian side.
Midfield fight will be the key for both Spain and England
The fight in midfield is probably where this quarterfinals will be won or lost, and if the will of Benat Turrientes, Javi Guerra and Pablo Torre can see their beautiful passing triangles disturbed, England will have a chance.
The to a minimum of Marc Pubil on the right side of the right side is also the key to the men of Carsley to make progress.
Pubill's Rent The Channel is both intense and constantly, and with three touches in the opposition box against Romania, as well as a completion of 90.9% pass, the 21-year-old must be kept under wraps.
Given the pedigree of both teams, it promises to be an exciting watch, and with quality everywhere, just like in 2023, it will be the closest calls about who leaves the Antona Malatinskeho field in Triumph.
