When is it? How can you watch it? What are the possible line-ups? All you need to know about the UEFA EURO 2024 quarter-final between Spain and Germany.
By most metrics, this quarter-final pits together the best teams in the competition. The joint record EURO winners are the leading scorers in 2024, have conjured the most attempts on target, lead the way in terms of passing accuracy and have conceded just three goals between them. And they have done it all in entertaining fashion, blending precocious youth and wise old(er) heads.
“It will definitely be a match of equals,” says Germany skipper İlkay Gündoğan. “The two sides are probably playing the best football in the tournament at the moment. It will come down to who deals better with not having the ball at times and not panicking.” Barcelona’s Gündoğan will come face to face with club-mates past (Rodri) and present (Lamine Yamal, for one), a measure of the depth of intrigue. Strap yourselves in.
Spain: Unai Simón; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella; Pedri, Rodri, Fabián Ruiz; Yamal, Morata, Williams
Misses next match if booked: Carvajal, Le Normand, Morata, Vivian
Germany: Neuer; Kimmich, Rüdiger, Tah, Raum; Andrich, Kroos; Musiala, Gündoğan, Wirtz; Havertz
Misses next match if booked: Andrich, Mittelstädt, Rüdiger
A clash of the titans. Perhaps the two best teams so far at EURO 2024; a simply unmissable match. Why do I have such faith that La Roja can halt Germany and continue what I think can be a surge to their fourth title? Because the planning, talent, confidence, attitude, quality and, crucially, solutions, are at such a high level. May the better team win.
Philip Röber, Germany reporter
Where to begin? From “Musiala/Wirtz vs Yamal/Williams” to “the early final” and “a battle of the possession machines”, this match is generating an endless stream of storylines. If Germany can reproduce their high intensity levels while adding a little more efficiency than in previous outings, I think they have a good chance of going through. Who will emerge triumphant? It’s a coin toss.
