England Under-21s Win Second Consecutive Euros Title, Carsley Eyes Third

Lee Carsley has led England's Under-21 team to their second consecutive European Championship title with a dramatic 3-2 extra-time victory over Germany in Bratislava. Despite conceding a two-goal lead, substitute Jonathan Rowe scored the winning goal just after extra time began, securing back-to-back titles for England. Carsley praised his players' belief, commitment, and resilience throughout the tournament, highlighting their ability to improve as they progressed. Having recently extended his contract through 2027, Carsley is already focused on achieving a historic third successive European Under-21 Championship win, a feat not yet accomplished. The success has also drawn praise from senior team coach Thomas Tuchel, who attended the final and congratulated the squad. Key players such as Harvey Elliott, who was named player of the tournament, and Charlie Cresswell remain from the previous victory, underscoring the team's winning mentality and potential to produce future senior team stars.
