A serious challenge awaits Ronaldo in the quarter-finals of EURO 2024

EURO 2024 quarter-finals:

• Spain – Germany
• Portugal – France
• Netherlands – Turkey
• England – Switzerland

The central match of the quarter-finals will undoubtedly be of Spain football team meeting with the home team Germany. While several favorites of the championship – Portugal, France and England – have shown an unimpressive performance, the Spaniards and Germans seem unstoppable.

Spain won all three games in the group stage, keeping a clean sheet. In the round of 16, goalkeeper Unaj Simons missed the ball for the first time, but the team still defeated debutant Georgia (4:1).

Germany also won the sub group. The home team scored eight goals – the best score in the first stage – while losing points once. It is worth mentioning that Germany made 18 shots in the draw against Switzerland, the opponent – four. On the other hand, in the round of 16, Germany convincingly defeated Denmark (2:0), in a game affected by bad weather.

A replay of the EURO 2016 final will take place in the quarter-finals. Represented by Cristiano Ronaldo Portugal will meet the star of France select As already mentioned, both national teams have not shown their best football in the tournament.

France has scored three goals in four games – two goals were scored by the opponents themselves, and one was scored by the French with the help of a penalty kick.

Meanwhile, Portugal has struggled with several setbacks in the 2024 tournament. In the group tournament, the Portuguese lost to the debutant Georgia (0:2), and only at the very top they defeated the Czech Republic (2:1). In the round of 16, Portugal was only able to deal with Slovenia in a shootout.

Also another quarterfinalist England has been criticized for a poor performance in the European Championship. One of the favorites of the tournament was saved from losing against Slovakia in the round of 16 only in the penultimate minute of the game. Meanwhile, England’s opponent Switzerland in the first round of the playoffs completely beat the European champions Italy (2:0).

They will meet again in the quarter-finals of the Netherlands and Turkey football teams. Turks have the opportunity to enter the semi-finals of the European Championship for the second time in the country’s history. It is worth noting that they did it before in 2008 – more recently than the Netherlands, who last played in the semi-finals in 2004.
