Germany and Spain will meet in the U21 EURO final at Krakow Stadium at 20:45CET on Friday.

Germany were the first to secure their place in the showpiece on Tuesday, beating England 4-3 on penalties in their semi-final in Tychy following a pulsating 2-2 draw over 120 minutes. Friday will be only their second ever final at this level; they overcame England 4-0 in their first, in 2009.

By contrast, Spain have won this competition on four occasions, including two of the past three editions. They reached this year's decider courtesy of a 3-1 defeat of ten-man Italy, Saúl Ñíguez scoring a sensational hat-trick to put his team through. Albert Celades's team have won all four of their fixtures in Poland.
