MADRID, 30 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish soccer team clashes this Sunday (21.00/La1) against Georgia in search of the quarterfinals of Euro 2024 at the RheinEnergie in Cologne, a duel with clear favoritism for a Spain that is in everyone’s pools to go far. in the tournament but he will have to prove it in the all or nothing.
The truth is that for Luis de la Fuente’s men the group stage was already a path without a safety net, due to the quality of their rivals. Spain had to go all out in the tournament and did not speculate against Croatia or Italy to seal their passage to the last 16 as top of Group B. La Roja shone and closed the scoring against Albania, despite rotating almost the entire team, without conceding a goal in the three games.
Now, with the return of the sharp style championed by Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal, the team faces a Georgia with nothing to lose, for the first time in a EURO. Willy Sagnol’s men earned their ticket to the crossroads by winning well-deservedly and with good football against Portugal with a Mikautadze plugged in as a scorer and a Kvaratskhelia who, according to Mamardashvili, is “better than all of Spain.”
It remains to be discovered who will speak on the Cologne pitch. Both teams met in the qualifying phase for the EURO, with two victories for the ‘Red’, a 1-7 in Tbilisi and a much closer 3-1 in Valladolid. Host Germany, which beat Denmark (2-0) on Saturday, is already waiting in the quarterfinals.
