Spain vs Germany
Spain and Germany, two European powerhouses, will clash in a match that is expected to be both tactically intriguing and fiercely competitive. Spain topped their group with dominant performances, showcasing their traditional possession-based style under Luis de la Fuente. With talents like Pedri and Ferran Torres pulling the strings, Spain will look to control the game and break down the German defence.
Germany, on the other hand, has had a turbulent campaign. Finishing second in their group, they displayed moments of brilliance mixed with defensive lapses. Hansi Flick’s side will rely heavily on the attacking prowess of players like Kai Havertz and Leroy Sané. Germany’s resilience will be tested against a well-drilled Spanish side.

Portugal vs France
Portugal’s matchup against France is another mouth-watering prospect. Portugal, led by veteran Cristiano Ronaldo, has shown a blend of experience and youthful exuberance throughout the tournament. Under Roberto Martínez, they have been effective in their tactical approach, combining solid defence with swift counter-attacks. Key players like Bruno Fernandes and João Félix will be crucial in breaking down the French defence.
France, aiming to reclaim their glory from Euro 2000, has been one of the most formidable teams in the tournament. Despite some injury concerns, including Kylian Mbappé’s fitness, Didier Deschamps’ squad is loaded with talent.
