In that too, the two matches between the former winners will be played in the quarterfinals. As a result, there will be a blockbuster match at this stage. It will be more like a final game.
In the first quarter-final, the winner of the most 3-3 times, Germany and Spain will compete. Both teams are aiming to win the Euro 4 times. However, a former winner is sure to be eliminated from the quarter-finals, it remains to be seen who will bet on it.

Similarly, in the second quarter-final, there will be a clash between two other former champions, Portugal and France. In 2016, Portugal became the champion after defeating France in the final. France is the 2018 World Cup winner and the 2022 World Cup runner-up. However, after 2000, France did not win the Euro. So far, France has won two Euros and Portugal once.
England became lucky to defeat Slovakia in the last 16 by extra time 2-1. Jude Bellingham averted the crisis by scoring an equalizing goal at the end of injury time for England, who were behind by one goal at the scheduled time. Harry Kane then scored the decisive goal in extra time.
