The future of English football is bright, with the men's under-21s lifting the European Championship for the first time in 39 years on Saturday.
The victory was heavily reliant on Manchester City, too, with Cole Palmer's free-kick deflected into the back of the net by Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones for the only goal of the final win over Spain. Blues goalkeeper James Trafford then became the hero as he made a brilliant penalty save before following up to stop the rebound in the 98th minute of the game.
That allowed City defender and England captain Taylor Harwood-Bellis to lift the trophy, having helped the Young Lions to six successive clean sheets throughout the tournament, while another City midfielder, Tommy Doyle, was part of the supporting cast who came off the bench to help Lee Carsley's youngsters through their campaign.
