Spain carry on with the spectacle in the ongoing UEFA Euro Cup 2024. Georgia was the latest victim to the ruthless soccer of La Roja, as Spain ended the fairytale adventure of Willy Sagnol’s team with a comprehensive 4-1 victory. Georgia extraordinarily opened the scoring thanks to an own goal from Robin Le Normand in the first half.
Nevertheless, that was only a small moral victory for the minnows, as Spain came back with a statement. Manchester City’s Rodri leveled the scoring with a wonderful finish in the bottom-right corner. Fabian Ruiz gave Spain the lead, which was followed by two wonder goals from Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. Luis de la Fuente continues to generate tactically superior plans which will surely concern Spain’s further opponents.
A mouthwatering quarter-final tie awaits
Owing to the victory over Georgia, Spain will contest the quarter-finals against the hosts Germany in Stuttgart. It will be a battle of European royalty between the two most successful nations in the history of the European Championship. Fans can be sure to expect a wonderful tactical battle with a potential classic in the making.
Spain and Germany are arguably the two most impressive teams in the tournament so far. Unfortunately, for one of them, the journey will end on Friday. Some of the greatest European stars along with youth prospects will take the field in what will undoubtedly be the biggest quarter-final in UEFA Euro 2024.
Georgia will go out with heads held high
It was already an extraordinary achievement for Georgia to reach the knockout stages in the nation’s first-ever appearance at a major international tournament. The early lead perhaps sold them dreams of miraculously extending their stay in Germany. That was not to be the case, however, as Georgia suffered elimination in the round of 16.
The national team has provided the country of Georgia with countless reasons to be proud of. Their European run witnessed them break record after record and set an unprecedented course in history. Georgia has certainly left its mark on UEFA Euro Cup 2024, creating a tale that will not vanish for many years to come.
