How important is winning U21 Euros to senior success?

England are just two games from making it back-to-back European Under-21 Championship triumphs.

Lee Carsley’s side, who won the tournament in 2023, face the Netherlands in the semi-final of this year’s competition on Wednesday (17:00 BST).

Germany play France in the other semi at 20:00.

But how important is winning the competition? What do the winners usually go on to do?

Do the winners go on to have senior success? Of the 24 teams to win the European Under-21 Championship, 10 of them have gone on to win either the World Cup or the senior Euros in the next 12 years.

Nine of those have featured players from that successful U21 squad.

Of course there is still time for Germany, winners in 2017 and 2021, and England in 2023 to do so.

Another five have reached a final in that time frame but lost.

1994, 1996, 2000 and 2004 Italy (2006 World Cup)
