Euro 2024: Notable confrontations in the "Early Final" match between Germany and Spain

"Summit" in midfield

The common point of Spain and the German team is that they have an extremely excellent midfield. That is Toni Kroos, İlkay Gündoğan of the German team or Rodri, Fabián Ruiz of the Spanish team. This promises that the first quarter-final will be a "summit conference" in the midfield.

Among them, Fabián Ruiz is the highest-rated player in this year's tournament with 8.77 points. This is thanks to very good parameters such as 2 goals, 2 assists, and a pass accuracy rate of up to 93% in 3 matches in this year's tournament (rested in the match against Albania).

Facing Fabián Ruiz is midfielder Toni Kroos. This midfielder is also one of the players with the highest score at Euro this year. The average score of 7.93 also shows the important role of the former Real Madrid midfielder in the German team. In fact, Toni Kroos's passing accuracy rate is up to 95% after 4 matches. In which, the long passes of this midfielder born in 1990 help the German team open up bright attacking lines.

It can be said that the upcoming quarter-final match will be a battle of wits between the top "brains" in Europe today. And promises to be a show of embroidery and brocade weaving on the Stuttgart Arena field.

Outstanding young runners

This match is also an interesting competition between young attacking players. They are Nico Williams, Lamine Yamal of the Spanish team and Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala of the German team.

The speed and skill of these runners is a constant threat to the two defenses. Especially when the excellent midfielders at the back often have sharp passes to create spaces for them to sprint into.

So this will be a very difficult match for full-backs like Dani Carvajal or Joshua Kimmich.

Antonio Rüdigerare "losing"Álvaro Morata

In the 2023/2024 season, Antonio Rüdiger and Álvaro Morata faced each other 3 times and surprisingly, the victory was leaning towards the striker born in 1992.

Specifically, Álvaro Morata and Atlético Madrid Club won 2 matches in La Liga and the King's Cup. Meanwhile, Antonio Rüdiger only had 1 victory in the Spanish Super Cup. More specifically, in 2 victories against Real Madrid, the Spanish striker scored 3 goals. Therefore, Antonio Rüdiger will have to be very cautious of Morata in the upcoming match if he does not want the home team Germany to lose the match./.
