It will be a neck-and-neck match for the Germans and Spaniards. Spain, with the thrilling duo of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams by their side, has reached the quarterfinals with a total of four wins and nine goals. Meanwhile, Germany has also exhibited impressive form throughout the tournament.
Considering the current forms of both teams and their historical standing, with both nations being the most successful in the history of the European Championship with three titles each, the game will be a fitting finale. The winner of that match will advance to the semifinals against either France or Portugal.
At the same time, the day will witness yet another clash of heavyweights and a repeat of the Euro 2016 final, when Portugal beat France 1-0 in extra time in Paris.
So far, Les Bleus have only netted three times in four games. Their captain had to miss out on one game and had to come back with a protective face mask. Mbappe will come up against his boyhood idol, Ronaldo, the Portugal captain who has announced this tournament to be his last.

Portugal and France are in the same boat, as the Selecao’s captain is also struggling to find the net and ended up in tears after missing a penalty. By the end of the day, there is no doubt that the captains will shake hands and embrace each other as they did before the match. But in the end, only one will remain while the other heads back home.
