The Reds attacking midfielder produced a player-of-the-match performance, including two eye-catching second-half goals, to help England beat the Netherlands in Wednesday’s semi-final and today in the final against Germany
“The Liverpool player was part of the squad in 2023, but he is a star of this one,” wrote Sky Sports’ Adam Bate at the Tehelne Pole. “The best player on the pitch and the scorer of both of England’s goals.”

IT’S BEEN HARVEY ELLIOTT’S TOURNAMENT! 🏴🌟
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits one “regret” he has about his final season at the club centres around his use of England U21 international Harvey Elliott.
The 21-year-old has made 117 appearances, around half of which have been off the bench, since his making his Liverpool debut in 2019 and his 51 games this season is the most in a single campaign as he has made a more significant contribution in midfield.
“If I regret one thing…”
Recent performances have shown Elliott at his best and Klopp, who will move on in the summer after the final two games of the season, said he wished he could have played him more.
“It’s not like I go back and think ‘Where did we go wrong here and there?’ but if I regret one thing a little bit it’s that Harvey didn’t play often enough maybe,” he said.
