Spain's La Rojita are on fire in the UEFA European Under-19 Championships. The side coached by Luis Milla and boasting the next generation of Spanish stars have ripped through the group stage with three successive wins over their Croatian, Portuguese and Italian counterparts.

Central to their cause has been Liverpool attacker Dani Pacheco. The former Barcelona cantera prodigy scored a brace to overturn Portugal and followed that up with an impressive showing against Italy on Saturday. Pacheco scored to send the Spaniards towards a semi-final showdown against England.
