Germany – Denmark, live | Euro 2024 Round of 16

Both teams, led by English referee Michael Oliver, took to the field. Thrilling!

It is a toss-up game so Toni Kroos, at 34, will end his career if Germany are eliminated.

The winner of this match could face Spain in the quarterfinals, always, of course, if La Roja eliminates Georgia tomorrow.

Denmark finished second in group C, with 3 points, after drawing its three games against Slovenia (1-1), England (1-1) and Serbia (0-0).

Germany reached this round of 16 as the first in group A, with 7 points, thanks to a goal in extra time (1-1) against a Switzerland that, had they won, would have relegated them to second place. Before, the host beat Scotland (5-1) and Hungary (2-0).

The match will inevitably bring back to fans of a certain age the memory of the final Euro 1992, when Denmark, who participated in the last minute in the tournament in place of the former Yugoslavia, was excluded following UN sanctions following the War Balkan, became champions for the only time in its history after defeating Germany 2-0 in the final.

Eriksen, as planned, was part of the starting eleven despite not training yesterday due to a stomach problem.

For his part, Kasper Hjulmand introduced two changes compared to the last match in the group stage against Serbia (0-0). One was obliged as the suspended Morten Hjulmand left his place for Thomas Delaney, a midfielder loaned by Sevilla to Anderlecht. Meanwhile, winger Skov Olsen comes in for Jonas Wind, a top player.

Real Madrid player Rüdiger, as expected, recovered in time from the muscle discomfort that prevented him from training for several days this week and remains untouched in defense.

Nagelsmann made three changes compared to the eleven that finished in the first round against Switzerland (1-1): Schlotterbeck came in for the suspended Tah at the rear axis, Raum for Mittelstädt at left-hand, while Leroy Sané made of surprise bench look at Wirtz. On the other hand, Havertz continued to attack despite the fact that Füllkrug scored two goals in return.

For his part, Kasper Hjulmand brought Schmeichel into trouble between the sticks, Christensen, Andersen and Vestergaard in the rearguard; Bah, Delaney, Höjbjerg, and Maehle in midfield, Eriksen and Skov Olsen in midfield and Hojlund, up front.

Julian Nagelsmann, coach of Germany, bet on Neuer in goal; Kimmich, Rüdiger, Schlotterbeck and Raum in defence; Kroos and Andrich in the double pivot, Leroy Sané, Gündogan and Musiala in the midfielder and Havertz in the forward.
