Germany U21 succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to England in their final group game on Wednesday, meaning that they finished bottom of Group C having only picked up one point. Maximilian Bauer didn’t appear against England, who qualified for the quarter-finals without conceding a goal.

On Tuesday, Arne Engels, who watched proceedings from the bench, and Belgium U21s exited the tournament. The ‘Red Devils’ conceded a late, contested penalty, with former Bayern player Tiago Dantas coverting to make it 2-1 to Portugal. With the Netherlands only drawing against hosts Georgia, a point would’ve been enough to see Belgium qualify for the next round
