Spain have the chance to beat Germany on home soil when the two sides face off on Friday evening in the first quarter-final clash of EURO 2024.

The form team of EURO 2024, Spain are the only side to have qualified for the knockout stage with a perfect record.

Meanwhile, Germany secured their passage to the last eight with a 2-0 win over Denmark on Saturday night in Dortmund.

Although the hosts are also unbeaten in the tournament, their 1-1 draw with Switzerland in Matchday 3 smudged what could have been a perfect record.
