• Ten final facts

1) Portugal are attempting to become the first nation to win the U19 EURO title two years after winning the U17 EURO crown, thus winning it with the same generation of players. Ten players in this U19 squad graduated from the 2016 U17s.

2) Seven Portugal players who were involved in last year's final defeat by England are back again this year – Diogo Costa, Diogo Queirós, João Filipe, Miguel Luís, Mesaque Dju, Florentino and Quina. Goalkeeper Diogo Costa misses out on this year's final, however, due to injury.

3) Italy are taking part in their fourth U19 final. Runners-up in 2008 and 2016, their only title came in 2003 when a side featuring Juventus' Giorgio Chiellini beat Portugal 2-0 in Liechtenstein.

4) This is also Portugal's fourth final and their third in five seasons. Despite being one of the most consistent U19 nations, reaching the last four in five out of the last six years, they have yet to win the trophy.

5) These two teams have already met at this tournament, Italy winning 3-2 in the group stage. It was a match where Portugal had to play most of the game with ten men following a ninth-minute red card for their captain Diogo Queirós.

6) Italy are the only unbeaten side left in the competition, winning three of their four matches so far in the finals. Norway were the only team to hold them to a draw. They were also unbeaten in six matches in the qualification stages.

7) Portugal are the tournament's top scorers with 13 goals, while no team has conceded fewer goals than Italy, whose defence has only been breached three times.

8) Portugal's Trincão Francisco is currently tied on top of the leading scorer chart with France's Amine Gouiri. Both have scored four goals.

9) Italy forward Moise Kean has a claim to fame – in 2016 he became the first player born this century to feature in a UEFA Champions League match when he was used as a substitute for Juventus.

10) Players who have won the U19 title in the past include Andrés Iniesta, Sergio Ramos, Joshua Kimmich and recent FIFA World Cup winners Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé.
