For the moment, only the Spanish national team, the most titled, has played better – she has won the tournament seven times.
The U20 is a fairly young European Championship, which only took place in 2000. For comparison, U18, for example, is held since 1965 and U16 since 1976.

Both girls have already played for the Russian national team, which means that they know how to feel comfortable in such competitions.
