On Thursday, June 12, the U-21 national team of Ukraine played its first match at the Euro-2025 U-21 Championship. Unai Melgosa’s team faced the U-21 national team of Denmark and suffered a defeat with a score of 2:3. Fans are disappointed with such a frustrating loss of the team. After all, the Ukrainian team could have reasonably expected to win.
Vasyl Sharan: We played, played, and lost the winning game... In short, we played, played, and in the end, we messed up because whenever they are winning, they start playing defensively.
III: Well, Denmark behaved very rudely, they came out to play football...
Nick: Wow... It might turn out that the Finns will take first place in the group. Well, our team can already pack their bags...
Jonny Mnemonik: Does anyone still believe we will get out of the group?
But Max: It was like they were running with bags; there was no freshness at all, giving the ball to the Danes in the first half was a mistake.
Vlad Popovych: Horrible, simply horrible... Another “golden generation” is embarrassing itself across Europe...
Olexiy: The U-21 played better than the national team. You can see they have the desire to play, the flanks are working well, quick attacks are effective, and the combination in the second half (too bad they didn’t score then) was really great.
Andrii Buhaiov: Honestly, it was a coaching defeat. They removed Rubchynskyi and Voloshyn, and the left flank weakened.
Nik: The spirit of Rebrov’s team lives in them.
