Spain vs Germany EURO 2024 quarter-final preview: Where to watch, kick-off time, possible line-ups

By most metrics, this quarter-final pits together the best teams in the competition. The joint record EURO winners are the leading scorers in 2024, have conjured the most attempts on target, lead the way in terms of passing accuracy and have conceded just three goals between them. And they have done it all in entertaining fashion, blending precocious youth and wise old(er) heads.

"It will definitely be a match of equals," says Germany skipper İlkay Gündoğan. "The two sides are probably playing the best football in the tournament at the moment. It will come down to who deals better with not having the ball at times and not panicking." Barcelona's Gündoğan will come face to face with club-mates past (Rodri) and present (Lamine Yamal, for one), a measure of the depth of intrigue. Strap yourselves in.
