Spain vs Germany
It’ll be a big task for the hosts against the only team to have won all four of their games.
No host nation has ever been eliminated at the quarter-final stage of the UEFA European Championship, with all four previous host quarter-finalists progressing: England won a penalty shootout against Spain in 1996, the Netherlands beat Yugoslavia 6-1 in 2000, Portugal beat England on penalties in 2004, and France defeated Iceland 5-2 in 2016.
Germany have an excellent record at this stage, too. This will be their 19th quarter-final tie across the World Cup (14) and European Championship (5), the most of any European nation at the two major tournaments. They have progressed from 15 of their previous 18 (83%), including all four at the Euros (1996, 2008, 2012, 2016).
Julian Nagelsmann’s men won their group after beating Scotland (5-1) and Hungary (2-0) before drawing with Switzerland (1-1). They had to overcome a thunderstorm in Dortmund before beating Denmark 2-0 in the round of 16.
It has been slightly smoother for Spain, with Luis de la Fuente’s side also topping their group, beating Croatia (3-0), Italy (1-0) and Albania (1-0), before coming from behind to ease past Georgia 4-1 in the last 16.
This will be a meeting of Euro 2024’s two top-scoring teams. Spain have scored nine goals, while Germany have 10, which is already their joint-most in a single edition of the competition. In fact, their shot conversion rate of 13.9% is currently their highest in an edition since Euro 2008 (14.5%), though they went on to lose to Spain in the final that year.
Portugalvs.France
Portugal vs. France. Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Kylian Mbappe. A repeat of the 2016 showpiece. Friday's Euro 2024 quarter-final at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg promises to be an absorbing affair.
Roberto Martinez's men dramatically bested a plucky Slovenia side on penalties to prolong their quest for glory, while Les Bleus were also far from convincing in their 1-0 beating of Belgium.
Match preview
Preview: Portugal vs. France - prediction, team news, lineups
Monday's Deutsche Bank Park battle between Portugal and Slovenia was one of tragedy and triumph for Selecao superstar Ronaldo, whose attempts to score a goal at Euro 2024 remain fruitless, thanks in no small part to Jan Oblak's heroic extra-time penalty save from the 39-year-old.
Tears flowed from Ronaldo's face before Slovenia kept Martinez's men off the scoresheet for the final 15 minutes of the 120, but as the Al-Nassr man, Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes all registered from 12 yards, the Slovenians met an impenetrable wall in Diogo Costa.
Replacing Ronaldo as Portugal's hero for the evening, Costa became the first male goalkeeper to ever save three penalties in a European Championship shootout to propel the 2016 champions into the quarter-finals, sparing the blushes of his teammates who were repelled time and time again by Matjaz Kek's valiant troops.
Already going one better than their agonising last-16 exit at the delayed Euro 2020, Portugal will be rewarded with an equally daunting semi-final against either Spain or Germany should they conquer the French in Hamburg, but their shooting boots have abandoned them at the most inopportune time.
Indeed, Martinez's men have now gone scoreless in their last two Euro 2024 ties - having also been shocked 2-0 by Georgia's history-makers in their final Group F encounter - but their upcoming foes have not exactly hit the lofty attacking heights expected of them either.
Preview: Portugal vs. France - prediction, team news, lineups
Four matches into the current European Championships, and a French player is yet to score a goal through open play, but the fact of the matter is that Didier Deschamps's men are quarter-finalists once again, banishing the demons of their Euro 2020 dejection.
On the back of their underwhelming group-stage display - where their only goals came via Austria defender Maximilian Wober and a Kylian Mbappe penalty - France pitted their wits against a Belgium side with a blend of youthful talent and the so-called 'golden generation', and it was a member of the latter that decided both teams' destiny.
