Spain vs Germany: Two Giants Go Head-to-Head in the Euro 2024 Quarter-Finals

Spain vs Germany today football match head to head stats


Hold onto your hats, folks! Spain and Germany are about to throw down in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals on July 5th, starting at 4 PM local time at the MHP Arena in Stuttgart. This is gonna be one heck of a match with two of football's big dogs going at it!

The Young Phenom: Lamine Yamal

Spain's got this 16-year-old whiz kid, Lamine Yamal, who's been stealing the show. He's dished out two assists already, which is pretty darn impressive. That puts him in some fancy company with teen stars like Enzo Scifo from '84 and a young fella named Cristiano Ronaldo from 2004. Despite being younger than most of us when we first started watching soccer, Yamal's got some serious skill and coolness under pressure.

But don't think Germany's coach, Julian Nagelsmann, is letting his guard down. He's like, "Yeah, he's good, but can he handle the heat of a quarter-final?" Instead, Nagelsmann's all about his own golden boy, Jamal Musiala, and their team's firepower.

Game Plans

Spain's coach, Luis de la Fuente, is all about going on the attack. He's saying, "We're gonna go full throttle from the get-go!" But he's also got his eyes on Germany's midfield maestro, Toni Kroos, and might even be thinking of tying his shoelaces together, just joking (or is he?).

On the flip side, Germany's captain, Ilkay Gundogan, wants to use the home crowd's energy to their advantage. "We're gonna play our hearts out and hope the fans give us that extra push," he says.

Who's Playing?

For Germany, Jonathan Tah is back in the lineup, so he'll be teaming up with Antonio Rudiger, and Nico Schlotterbeck might get a breather on the bench. As for Spain, everyone's healthy and raring to go, with Nacho and Ayoze Perez good to play after nursing some little muscle issues.

 How to Watch

If you wanna catch the action live, tune into BBC Radio 5 Live or BBC Sounds at 5 PM BST. If you're more into watching, ITV1 has you covered. And if you're busy, you can always catch the highlights on BBC One after the Portugal vs France game.

 The History Lesson

This isn't the first time these two have met at the European Championship. It's actually their fourth showdown, with Spain holding a 2-1 lead. The last time they played, in 2008, Spain won 1-0 in the final with a little help from Fernando Torres. Oh, and here's a fun fact: no host nation has ever been booted out at the quarter-finals. So, Germany's got some pressure to keep that record going.

And when it comes to stats, Germany's been scoring like crazy with 10 goals in four games, which is their best run in the tournament. Meanwhile, Spain's Fabian Ruiz is on fire, with a hand in five goals over his last four matches.

So, grab your snacks and get comfy because this is gonna be a real nail-biter in Stuttgart!
