Spain will face Germany in the first quarterfinal of Euro 2024. Two of the great candidates for the title after what was seen in the first matches, face each other. Luis de la Fuente’s team started with problems, as Pedri had to be replaced after a difficult challenge from Kroos. Who will advance to the next round? In this live, we will tell you everything that is happening in Stuttgart
The players are about to take the field to play this second half. Will there be an extension between Spain and Germany?
Spain played well but perhaps lacked a bit of bite up front. Nico does the most in his part but there are still some plays left by Morata or Lamine. For the rest, Rodri and Cucurella as usual, 10
Let’s remember that Spain has already made a change, forced by Pedri’s injury. In Germany, it seems that there will be no movements at rest
The players retired in the locker room tunnel! At half-time, the coaches will try to adjust some tactical changes
47′ END OF THE FIRST PART!
SPAIN 0-0 GERMANY
The first half is over in Stuttgart a duel between Spain and Germany without goals but there was everything because both teams had chances and many goals
47′
Excellent Cucurella who puts impetus on every play. This is insurance
Four.
Two minutes of extra time were added
44′
Lamine Yamal’s shot was caught by Neuer
42′
Nico Williams crosses from the left into nowhere. The Athletic Club winger regrets it
42′
Morata and Lamine Yamal are very discreet at the moment. I hope his moment comes in the second part
41′
Spain tries to get the ball from behind. Germany wanted to press but didn’t get too far ahead of the Spanish defence
41′
Another foul from Kroos with three, no yellow, and keeps complaining to the referee when he’s not the captain
40′
SPAIN 0-0 GERMANY
39′
Alas, Dani Olmo’s shot that Neuer struggles to stop!

Moments of more possession from Spain now although Germany is dangerous going out
37′
Nico is very active on the left wing of the national team
36′
A clear foul by Fabián when Germany released the ball
35′
It’s on Nico’s left even though it’s not allowed because it’s offside.
3. 4′
Stop Unai! The Basque goalkeeper did very well to stop the shot of the German striker, who is most active in Germany
33′
Kimmich offside! It was difficult for Germany to enter the wings
33′
Phew! What a wall between Morata and Olmo that almost left the Catalan against Neuer. Cut well Tah

What an action by Carvajal to abandon his position to steal the ball. However, Germany kept it.
30′
Foul by Emre Can on Lamine Yamal. Yellow is not worn
30′
SPAIN 0-0 GERMANY
28′
Foul by Le Normand on Gundogan and yellow. It is clear, the first one from Spain will also be yellow
27′
Hard foul by Raum on Carvajal who saw a yellow. This is the second time for Germany, which is very difficult
26′
Ayyyy! Nico’s cross to the far post that Lamine couldn’t reach
24′
Kroos cross is held by Tah but it is saved by Unai Simón, who, yes, fails with many of his deliveries
23′
Morata’s foul on Kimmich. It is a lateral and will be launched by Kroos. Beware
23′
Connection failure between Can and Raum. Spain regains the ball
22′
Nice shot by Laporte with his left foot! Neuer brilliantly stopped the ball in two halves.
twenty-one’
Spain looked to play long to escape pressure but the German centre-backs were too good
twenty
Phew! Good ball from Kimmich to Havertz, the Arsenal player shoots and Unai Simón saves. This became the first purge of the Germans
19′
Germany is putting pressure on Spain’s exit, which is still good
18′
Avoid Laporte corner now. Sané came in from the right but couldn’t get through the middle
16′
Germany is more cautious than Spain but they are very dangerous in transitions. The game has a lot of rhythm. Shot today from Fabián expanding

Now Morata made a mistake and, when he passed it to Cucurella, he chose to shoot

12′
And a second shot from Spain. Nico hit him even when he came out
Eleven
Fabián plays defense. Spain are calm and have personality on the ball
10′
Bad pass from Kroos to Raum. The German ‘8’ also stepped on Lamine a few minutes earlier. And he left without yellow. Rude referee error
8′
Phew. Sané could have troubled Cucurella but Laporte closed well
7′
The match continues and Germany plays

Nothing. He couldn’t continue. Dani Olmo is about to enter. And Kroos without yellow.

Be careful Pedri looks like he can’t keep up. Pity!
4′
Pedri had to leave although it looked like it would continue
3′
Phew! What an ugly tackle from Kroos on Pedri who looks set to leave without a yellow. De La Fuente lights up and with good reason

Cucurella complains about a punch to the face but it seems to come to nothing

WE REVIEW ELEVEN ON TWO TEAMS!
SPAIN: First Simon; Dani Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella, Rodri, Pedri, Fabián, Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Morata
GERMANY: Neuer; Kimmich, Rüdiger, Tah, Raum, Kroos, Emre Can, Sané, Gundogan and Kai Havertz
FINAL STRAIGHT OF THE WAIT! About 15 minutes to get the ball rolling in this Spain-Germany quarter-final of EURO 2024 and we will experience it here, live, on the Mundo Deportivo website
The players have retired to the locker room tunnel to receive the coach’s final statement!
The Spanish fans, although a minority, were, as usual, very colorful and very noisy. I hope his encouragement reaches the players.
The two teams finished their warm-up exercises amidst music and a wonderful atmosphere. You won’t see much nervousness on the faces of the players. Enter the profession within
In the German city of Stuttgart, located in the southwest of the country, it will have a temperature of 24ºC and a humidity of 48%. That is, the best climate for playing soccer.
Half an hour before it starts PAR-TI-DA-ZO between Spain and Germany in the quarterfinals of this EURO 2024!
The stands of the Stuttgart stadium are slowly filling up. There is a capacity for just over 50,000 spectators.
The players of the two national teams are warming up! There will be a great rivalry between Unai Simón and the legendary Manuel Neuer at the age of 38 or between Rodri Hernández and Toni Kroos, who if he loses, will retire this afternoon
The referee of the match, by the way, was Anthony Taylor, English. VAR will be assisted by Stuart Attwell. Good luck to them and I hope they are not the star!
The match will be held at the Mercedes Benz-Arena in Stuttgart where, obviously, the German fans will fill the stands with up to 30,000 spectators. On the Spanish side, around 7,000 fans are expected. However, surprisingly, Spain will be playing at home in the match.
THIS WILL BE THE GERMANY BENCH
In the German bank it will be: Baumann, Ter Stegen; Schlotterbeck, Anton, Mittelstädt, Henrichs, Koch, Grob, Müller, Wirtz, Andrich, Füllkrug, Fuhrich, Beier and Undav
Nagelsmann ‘replaces’ Florian Wirtz in the German team’s centre-attack and introduces Leroy Sané, a wider-field, more confrontational player. Emre Can also appears at the expense of the expectation, which is Andrich, the Leverkusen player. For others, the team will be key in the tournament with Toni Kroos as its main asset. Let’s remember that if Germany loses, the German will say goodbye to football permanently.
THIS WILL BE GERMANY’S STARTER XI
In the German team, some surprises: Neuer; Kimmich, Rüdiger, Tah, Raum, Kroos, Emre Can, Sané, Gundogan and Kai Havertz
Let’s go to Germany’s starting eleven!
Players like Fermín, Joselu or Dani Olmo can be important if the game does not go the desired way while others like Mikel Merino or Zubimendi, who hold the ball, can be key if La Roja wins .
THIS WILL BE THE BENCH OF SPAIN
On the Spanish bench there will be: Remiro, David Raya; Nacho, Vivian, Grimaldo, Jesús Navas, Mikel Merino, Dani Olmo, Alex Baena, Zubimendi, Fermín López, Joselu, Ferran Torres, Oyarzabal and Ayoze Pérez
It will be very important, as usual, the wings of Spain with Nico and Lamine and the power in the middle of the field of Rodri. Both Spain and Germany are two teams that like to have the ball and so in the first minutes it will be important to have more of the ball than the Germans.
What to expect from the Spanish team. In the last hours there was speculation that Dani Olmo could come in instead of Pedri but Luis De La Fuente decided not to touch what has worked so far and the eleven players that have been pronounced by heart of Spain fans are those who play against To Germany
Ours will play in: First Simon; Dani Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella, Rodri, Pedri, Fabián, Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Morata
First of all, let’s go with Spain’s starting eleven that has been revealed!
There is very little left to know who will be the first semi-finalist of this Euro Cup. Spain or Germany?
We remember that today, starting at 9:00 pm, Portugal and France will fight for another semifinal spot and from these four teams one of the finalists will emerge on July 14 in Berlin
A great game that, as you know, starts at 6:00 pm and can be seen on La 1 on TVE and can continue here with us, on the Mundo Deportivo website
VERY GOOD AFTERNOON TO EVERYONE! Welcome to live coverage of the match between Spain and Germany in the quarterfinals of the Euro Cup
