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.

Key players like Bruno Fernandes and João Félix will be crucial in breaking down the French defence.
