While France thrashed Montenegro 5-0 today to finish on six points, the Italians came back from a goal down in a 3-3 thriller with Denmark to top Group B on seven points.

Mikkel Bro Hansen had opened the scoring, turned around by Edoardo Biondini, Lorenzo Dattilo and Andrea Donato to lead 3-1 by half-time.

Denmark fought back again with Tobias Baden Ekstrand and the stoppage-time Omran Khatar equaliser.

This means the semi-finals on Thursday June 4 will be Belgium vs. France and Italy vs. Spain, but the kick-off times are yet to be confirmed.

The Final is then set for Lillekula Staadion on Sunday June 7.

Italy won the European Under-17 Championship in 2024 and then took bronze in the Under-17 World Cup.
