However, despite boasting home advantage they fell to a 2-1 defeat this evening, with Sergi Roberto's goal not enough to cancel out a Jose Gaya own goal and a Filip Kostic strike.
Spain had been following in the footsteps of their senior side by dominating the tournament in recent years, winning both the 2011 and 2013 editions.
Meanwhile, England Under-21s did qualify courtesy of a 4-2 aggregate victory over Croatia, while Portugal squeezed past Netherlands to join the likes of Germany and Denmark in the draw.
