Tah in U21 Team of the Tournament

Jonathan Tah was clearly disappointed after being on the losing side in the U21 European Championships final. "But we can be proud of ourselves," wrote the Germany captain on his Twitter account after the 2-1 defeat against Spain. In addition to the runners-up medal, there is further consolation for the 23-year-old central defender: Tah is in the official Team of the Tournament as UEFA announced on Monday.

The Werkself number four is one of six German players to produce the strongest performances at the U21 European Championships in Italy and San Marino according to UEFA's six-person, international observer team. The top eleven also includes Alexander Nübel (goalkeeper), Lukas Klostermann (right-back), Benjamin Henrichs (left-back), Mahmoud Dahoud (holding midfield) and Luca Waldschmidt (attacking midfield).

The team of the U21 Euros: Alexander Nübel (Germany, FC Schalke 04) – Lukas Klostermann (Germany, RB Leipzig), Jonathan Tah (Germany, Bayer 04), Jesús Vallejo (Spain, Real Madrid), Benjamin Henrichs (Germany, AS Monaco) – Fabián Ruiz (Germany, SSC Napoli), Mahmoud Dahoud (Germany, Borussia Dortmund) – Dani Olmo (Spain, Dinamo Zagreb), Luca Waldschmidt (Germany, SC Freiburg), Dani Ceballos (Spain, Real Madrid) – George Puşcaş (Romania, US Palermo)
