Spain vs Georgia

Spain was a top-three favorite going into the tournament, but no one could have predicted Georgia making it this far. They were simply amazing in the group stage and will try to make another huge upset in the round of 16 games that will take place at the RheinEnergieStadion in Köln on June 30.

Spain vs Georgia: Initial situation

Spain is the only team at EURO 2024 with a perfect record in the group stage after winning all the games against very respectable competition. On the other hand, Georgia needed a miracle in the last round to advance, and they showed readiness, which brought them the greatest success in the nation’s history.

Spain made it to the knockout stage, winning Group B with a maximum of 9 points. They made a statement that they were here to win after beating Croatia 3-0 in the opening game. Spain absolutely dominated that game, scoring three goals in the first half. At that point, they were in a great situation but did not stop and approached the game against Italy the right way.
