On Friday, July 5, football fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the start of the quarter-finals of the 2024 European Championship. The German national team, which is the host of the tournament, will meet formidable opponents from Spain. The match will take place at the MHP-Arena stadium in Stuttgart and will start at 19:00 Kyiv time.

Spain - Germany: Battle of the Titans

The Spanish national team come into this match with an impressive record, having won all four of their matches in the tournament with a combined score of 9-1. Under the leadership of an experienced coach, they show brilliant form and readiness to fight for another gold.

On the other hand, the German national team, led by Julian Nagelsmann, is also not going to give up without a fight. They have three European championship titles to their credit, just like their rivals. The history of meetings between these teams includes 26 matches, of which Germany won nine and Spain won eight. Their last meeting at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar ended in a 1-1 draw.

"This match promises to be a real thriller. Both teams have rich experience and high skill. We are ready for the challenge and hope for the support of our fans," said Julian Nagelsman.

Tactical aspects and key players

Spain is known for its technical play and ball control. Their style of play is based on quick passes and high pressing. Players like Pedri and Rodri, who are showing excellent form in this tournament, play an important role in the team.

Germany also has its trump cards. Their game is based on physical strength and tactical discipline. The key players are Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller, who can change the course of the game at any moment.

"We know the strength of our opponent, but we believe in our capabilities. We have a plan and we will stick to it until the end," said Thomas Müller.

Historical context and significance of the match

Both national teams are record holders for the number of victories at the Euro, having three gold medals each. This match is not only a battle for reaching the semi-finals, but also for confirmation of the status of the best team of the continent.

We will remind that in the 1/8 finals of Euro-2024 between the national teams of Turkey and Austria, the fastest goal in the history of the championship was scored at the playoff stage. This only emphasizes the unpredictability and drama of this tournament.

Forecasts and expectations

Analysts expect a tense and spectacular match. Both teams have a high level of training and motivation. It is difficult to predict who will emerge as the winner, but one thing can be said for sure: this match will be a real highlight of the tournament.
