Start of match

PRVWWe are five minutes from kick off! Only Spain have retained the title to this date... A lot of expectation in Yerevan today.
-
PRVWAs for Ferran Torres, the right-sided attacker arrived in Armenia on the back of a breakthrough season with Valencia which included a Copa del Rey winner's medal. Since then, he has responded to the expectations surrounding him, underlining his status as a reference point for Denia's squad by converting the winning spot kick against France.
-
PRVWAll eyes will be set on Gonçalo Ramos and Ferran Torres, both team's brightest stars. Ramos stands out as the tournament's leading scorer, thanks to his ability to sniff out a chance and take it. He's got four goals in the tournament all of them scored from inside the penalty box, including his hat-trick against Ireland in Wednesday's semi-final.
