It's England v Germany in the semi-finals

England will face old rivals Germany in the semi-finals of the Euro Under-21 Championships, while Spain face Italy.

The German youngsters fell to ao 1-0 defeat against Italy in their final game, but it was a result that took both teams through to the last four to join already-qualified England and Spain.

Italy's victory means they top Group C, while Germany progress as the best runner-up ahead of Slovakia on goal difference.

In Saturday's other game, already-eliminated Denmark wrecked Czech Republic's semi-final ambitions with a 4-2 victory.

England midfielder Lewis Baker has vowed they have no fear as they plot Euro 2017 glory.

They have moved to Krakow from their previous base in Kielce as they prepare for Tuesday's last four game in Tychy.

And Chelsea man Baker insisted England are not frightened of any team, including favourites Spain - who they can only meet in the final.

He said: "Yes definitely. I think the pressure has come off us a little bit now because we got through the group stages and into the semi-finals but I know the boys want to go as far as we can and we're all looking to achieve something big.

"We've been in big games before like at the Toulon tournament last year when we won that. As a team and a squad we're used to playing together in important matches so we'll just take it in our stride.

"As you start playing more and more games the momentum starts building and the confidence builds and we've started playing like we know we can."

Baker started the tournament playing further forward but has dropped deeper after John Swift was introduced in the second game - a 2-1 win over Slovakia.

The 22-year-old, who has spent the last two seasons on loan at Vitesse Arnhem, still scored a penalty in Thursday's 3-0 win over Poland which booked a semi-final spot and is happy with whatever role boss Aidy Boothroyd gives him.

He added: "Whatever the manager thinks is the best formation that is what we will go with.

"I like to do a bit of both defending and attacking, trying to get from box to box, is what my game is all about. Whatever the manager thinks is best we have to go with that."
