2009 FINAL
Germany taught England a lesson the last time they played a major tournament match at a European U21 Championship.
It was the 2009 final and Germany won the game 4-0, with Mesut Ozil a goalscorer.
That German team included several other future World Cup winners, the likes of Mats Hummels, Jerome Boateng and Sami Khedira.
Here’s a look at the two teams that day eight years ago…
Germany U21: Neuer, Beck, Howedes, Boateng, Boenisch, Hummels (Aogo 83), Johnson (Schwaab 68), Castro, Khedira, Ozil (Schmelzer 89), Wagner
England U21: Loach, Cranie (Gardner 80), Richards, Onuoha (Mancienne 46), Gibbs, Cattermole, Muamba (Rodwell 77), Noble, Milner, Walcott, Johnson
