In Stuttgart, in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024, Spain and Germany, the two favourite nations, will cross swords for a five-star clash on Friday 5 July.
This is the meeting of the kings of this Euro 2024. Since the beginning of the continental competition, Germany and Spain have offered the most enjoyable game to observers. La Roja, moreover, is the only nation to have won all of its matches with four successes in as many games.
Pumped up by some very accomplished performances, Spain, through Joselu, had a small media hitch. Questioned about his former Real Madrid partner Toni Kroos, the striker, with a smile, made a small dig at the German. “We don’t want to hurt any player from another team, especially Toni. I love him, I will always believe in him but I think Friday will be his last match. It’s a shame to have to say goodbye to Toni in this way, but I hope we win on Friday and that it will be his retirement, for our own good.” As a reminder, the central midfielder announced that he would hang up his boots at the end of Euro 2024. Spain already tried this destabilization game during the 2006 World Cup as part of Zidane’s retirement. The French legend responded with a goal, and a qualification for the quarter-finals.
In front of the press, the interested party responded while evoking this enticing Spain – Germany: “He said that because he wants to win. I understand his idea: he wants Spain to qualify for the semi-finals. But I believe that Germany has many arguments to prevent Spain from going through. (…) Whoever manages to control the game will have the best chance of winning. Both teams have players who can change the match, but they will especially want to have the ball to control the opponent.”
For the first quarter-final of this Euro 2024, in Stuttgart, Germany, host country of Euro 2024, challenges Spain. The kick-off of this clash will be at 18:00.
