The 2025 U21 European Championship came to a successful conclusion, with England successfully defending the title, and Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott, who performed outstandingly, was selected as the best player of the tournament.

Elliott was the core of England's youth team in the tournament held in Slovakia. He started all six games and contributed five key goals, including one in the quarter-finals, two in the semi-finals, and the first goal in the final against Germany. In the end, England defeated Germany 3-2 in extra time in the final and completed the defense of the title.

At only 22 years old, Elliott has won the U21 European Championship trophy for two consecutive times with the team, becoming the "key man" in the England youth team. His performance is not only impressive in terms of statistics, but also shows extraordinary leadership and overall perspective on the field.

UEFA's technical observation group spoke highly of Elliott in their selection: "There is no doubt that Elliott has been England's most decisive player since the first game."

"He showed excellent spatial and receiving awareness on the tactical level, was able to create threats in dangerous areas, and had both assists and goals. He was a key figure in the team's championship victory."

"In addition, his professional attitude, fighting spirit and team spirit are also outstanding. He is a core player who can stand up in big games."

With this personal honor, Elliott's growth has once again attracted attention from the outside world. His future development in the club and the national team is highly anticipated.
