Kees Smit, the magician orchestrating the Dutch dream

Kees Smit, a 19-year-old midfielder who shines for Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar, is the driving force behind the Jong Oranje's run to their first U-19 final. With a vision that seems to read the game like an open book and a touch on the ball that is captivating, Smit is the brains behind the Netherlands' fast-paced soccer. At Euro 2025, he has been unstoppable, scoring in all 4 games of the tournament, including a key goal in the 3-1 win over Romania in the semifinals that secured passage without the need for extra time. In 15 games with the U-19 team, he accumulated 5 goals and 4 assists.

Pablo Garcia, the cannonballer who makes the nets tremble

Pablo Garcia, a 19-year-old striker who lights up the Real Betis Balompié attack, is the ace up Spain U-19's sleeve and the name on everyone's radar for this final. With a goalscoring instinct that seems out of this galaxy and a veteran's calmness in front of goal, the youngster has lit up the EURO with scandalous performances. In the tournament, Garcia scored a historic hat-trick in a 6-5 comeback win over Germany in the semifinals, scoring four goals, two of them in extra time, to seal a place in the final. In 12 games for the U-19s, he has six goals and two assists.
