Spain have enjoyed Germany in the Euro 2024 knockout stages.
Having hammered Scotland to open the tournament, the hosts beat Hungary on Wednesday to reach the next stage. Spain followed up a commanding win over Croatia with a similar display to down Italy.
A fascinating start to the Euros means it is all to play for. Germany were initially unfancied despite their home advantage, while defending champions Italy are not exactly on a great run of form since lifting the trophy at Wembley three years ago, having missed the World Cup once again.
France are expected to be a major force once more but now have an injury to Kylian Mbappe to contend with, while Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands can never be counted out at this level.
Of course, Gareth Southgate’s England are among the favourites having cruised through qualification and looked like serious contenders at the last three major tournaments. Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Co have a lot of improvements to make though as the Three Lions look to end their 58-year wait for silverware, having started with a nervy win over Serbia before a dreadful draw with Denmark.
A dark horse or two also tends to pop up at the Euros, with Turkey and Romania both making strong starts, but Croatia having mustered only one point from their opening two matches.
Once again, the 24-team tournament is split into six groups of four. The top two of each group qualify automatically for the last-16 and the four top-ranked third-placed finishers will join them.
The hosts are unfancied to win their own Euros
