The most eagerly-awaited tie of Euro 2024 so far takes place on Friday evening as Spain face Germany. La Roja survived a scare against Georgia but came from behind to win 4-1, while hosts Germany beat Denmark 2-0 in controversial fashion.
The Quarterfinal fixtures of the European Championships (Euro Cup 2024) have been finalised. France vs Portugal and Germany vs Spain matches will be a much-awaited contest for the football fans. The schedule for the 4th quarterfinal match will be decided after the Austria vs Turkiye pre-quarterfinal match, which starts at 12:30 AM IST.
Spain won all three of their group stage games and brushed aside Georgia in the last 16 (despite an early scare) as Luis de la Fuente’s free-flowing side are brave, relentless and create so many chances. Youngsters Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Pedri are the attacking heartbeat of this side, while Rodri knits everything together in midfield. Spain will take some beating and their only Achilles heel appears to be defending counters as they throw so many players forward.
Germany rode their luck against Denmark in the last 16 but got their in the end as Musiala, Havertz and substitute Wirtz overpowered the Danes. Julian Nagelsmann will be concerned with some of the defending he’s seen in their games against Switzerland and Denmark but Germany still ooze quality in midfield with Kroos and Gundogan in control. The hosts will be expected to step it up a gear in Stuttgart but this quarterfinal may well be the game between the two best teams in the competition.

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.
There are no suspension issues for Spain and only Nacho and Ayoze Perez had slight injury issues and both were unused substitutes against Georgia. There really aren’t many selection dilemmas for Luis de la Fuente as his starting team is playing well, while the likes of Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres and Joselu are all playing well off the bench when called upon.
Jonathan Tah is back from suspension and should come back in at center back, while Florian Wirtz did well off the bench and could replace Leroy Sane on the wing. Kai Havertz continues to be under pressure for his starting spot with Niclas Fullkrug playing so well off the bench, but Havertz was very good against Denmark and will surely start again.
Stuttgart will welcome these two teams which are arguably the top two favourites to go all the way and lift the trophy. Luis de la Fuente’s Spain have dazzled with their youthful, energetic attacking play despite not being seen as one of the top two or three teams when arriving at the Euros.
The winner of the four quarterfinal matches will qualify for the semifinal. If the winner in the quarterfinal is not decided in the regular 90 minutes then the play will spill into the extra time. If the winner is not chosen in the extra time, then the winner of the penalty shootout will unveil the semifinalist.
