he Spain vs Germany live stream should be the final – in fact it was the final as recently as 2008 – but this Euro 2024 match is instead a …
Hosts Germany are into the quarter-finals for the fourth time in the last five Euros thanks to a competition-leading 10 goals in their four games so far. Julian Nagelsmann’s men brushed aside Scotland 5-1 in the opening game before a 2-0 win over Hungary secured their place in the knockouts. A late Niclas Füllkrug equaliser against Switzerland ensured they finished top of Group A and met Denmark in Dortmund, where Kai Havertz’s penalty and a third goal of the tournament for Jamal Musiala took him joint-top of the scoring chart and Germany through the last eight. Musiala’s place in the team is a given as he returns to his place of birth in Stuttgart. Havertz also appears nailed on, despite some calls for Füllkrug to start, although his record of four goals from the bench at major tournaments means he’ll likely remain a super-sub. Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz may come back into the team for Leroy Sané, while fellow double winner Jonathan Tah will probably also be restored at centre-back alongside Real Madrid’s Antonio Rüdiger following a one-game suspension. Rüdiger, VfB Stuttgart’s Maximilian Mittelstädt and Robert Andrich are all one booking away from missing a potential semi-final in Munich. Toni Kroos has spent the last decade in Spain so will know the opposition well as he looks to prolong his career a couple more games before retiring.
This young Spain team has also impressed at Euro 2024, winning all four of their games so far and trailing only Germany for goals scored with nine. They brushed aside Croatia 3-0 in their first group game before beating holders Italy 1-0 and then Albania by the same score with a heavily rotated team. There looked the potential for an upset in the round of 16 when they went behind early on against Georgia, but a four-goal response – completed by RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo – put paid to any doubts. The 26-year-old started on the bench in Cologne on Sunday and will likely do so again here, with coach Luis de la Fuente seemingly settled on his preferred XI. That also means Alejandro Grimaldo, who topped the Bundesliga assist chart as Leverkusen went unbeaten to the title, has to settle for a place among the substitutes as well. The young duo of Yamine Lamal and Nico Williams will flank Álvaro Morata up front, while ex-Bayer full-back Dani Carvajal helps marshal a defence that has conceded only once this tournament.
