It’s the duel of extremes in the round of 16 of Euro 2024. Spain, the most successful nation tied with Germany (3 titles), will challenge Georgia which is participating in its first Euro this Sunday in Cologne from 9 p.m.
Willy Sagnol’s team managed the feat of coming out of Group F as the best 3rd thanks to their surprise victory against Portugal (2-0) in the last group match. The teammates of Georges Mikautadze, the competition’s top scorer (3 goals), will try to continue their historic run against an imperial Roja in the group stage. Luis de la Fuente’s men are even the only ones to have won three times in the group stage.

The feat will be all the more complicated for the Georgians who have already faced the Spaniards during the qualifiers in 2023. The double confrontation (two defeats, 10 goals conceded, 2 scored) including a heavy setback (7-1) remains a very bad memory. But Georgia can boast of having already beaten Spain in its history, in a friendly, in June 2016 (1-0). Also note, the match will be officiated by French referee François Letexier.
The Euro 2024 round of 16 match between Spain and Georgia kicks off this Sunday at 9pm. The match will be broadcast on M6 and BeIN Sports 1, as well as live commentary on leparisien.fr.
