TheSpanish press is full of triumphant headlines after the victory of its youth team over Ukraine in the semi-finals of Euro 2023 U-21 (5: 1), writes Team1.
"Spain has reached the semi-finals in imperial style," the reputable Marca is full of pride.
"A majestic match for Spain against Mudryk's Ukraine, securing their place in the European Championship final. An unforgettable second half in which La Rojita literally swept the opposition away. Undoubtedly, the best match of the youth team in a long time, in which all the players were at an impressive level. From Arnau Tenas to Abel Ruiz," the publication praises its team.
"The third crown awaits in Batumi," As rejoices in advance.
"For those who thought that for the boys of Santi Denis 'the fanfare will not sound three times', the 2000 generation of Spanish football responded yesterday with a match against Ukraine. They are aiming to become European U-17, U-19 and U-21 champions.
Ukraine, which has proved to be a great team throughout the tournament, revealed its trump cards from the first minutes of the game. The difference from the group stage matches is that now they have Mudryk, who opens the way to the opponents' goal.
Less than five minutes had passed, and the Chelsea player had already beaten Victor Gomez twice. The safety net was timely the first two times, but not the third. The $100 million winger left the Spaniard sitting in the penalty area and sent the ball to Bondarenko, who beat Arnaud Tenas with his left foot.
Ukraine didn't give up after two goals and relied on Mudryk again and again, who roared the stadium every time he touched the ball. The bleeding that Mudryk was creating in the Spanish defence had to be stopped, and in the second half Denis switched to wingers," the newspaper praises his coach.
"Spain is flying higher and higher and only England remains an obstacle to the title," Sport celebrates.
"Spain demonstrated a real cyclone strike in the match against Ukraine and will face England in the Euro 2023 final this Saturday. No one expected such a show of strength. In the semi-finals and against such an uncomfortable opponent, capable of eliminating France itself and with a devil like Mudryk in their ranks. But this generation has once again shown that it knows how to compete and control its emotions.
The 100-million-year-old Mudryk showed that he is a special talent with an incredible change of pace and pause for the last pass. An elite player!" Sport.
