Which team will England play against in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024? What teams have made it to the final eight?

The knockout phase of Euro 2024 is well underway, and the excitement is building as the tournament reaches its climax. With 16 teams making it this far, the battle to secure a spot in the quarter-finals is fierce.

Let’s take a look at the teams that have already qualified and who England will be facing in the last eight.

First up, we have the tournament hosts, Germany. They became the first team to secure their place in the quarter-finals after a controversial 2-0 victory over Denmark. Topping Group A, which included a spirited Switzerland side, Germany now face a tough challenge against Spain. The Spaniards have been in fine form, winning all their games and conceding just one goal.

Switzerland is the next team to qualify, after a convincing 2-0 victory over Italy. Goals from Remo Freuler and Ruben Vargas sealed the win for Murat Yakin’s side. Despite a late goal from Niclas Fullkrug denying them a victory against Germany in the group stage, Switzerland has been proving their doubters wrong with dominating performances.

England, after a lackluster group stage, managed to come back from a goal down to beat Slovakia 2-1 in extra time. A stunning overhead kick from Jude Bellingham and a header from captain Harry Kane secured the win for Gareth Southgate’s side. Now, they face Switzerland in the quarter-finals, who have emerged as one of the tournament’s most impressive teams.

Spain, the only team to have won all their games so far, will face Germany in what promises to be a thrilling quarter-final match. Luis de la Fuente’s side has been in top form, scoring four goals in their last-16 tie against Georgia after an early own goal shocked them.

The clash between England and Switzerland is set to be an intriguing one. England, after a slow start to the tournament, will be looking to build on their dramatic victory over Slovakia. Switzerland, on the other hand, has shown their ability to adapt their tactics and personnel depending on the opposition. Granit Xhaka has been the beating heart of their well-organized side.

As the tournament progresses, the excitement and anticipation continue to grow. The quarter-final fixtures are set, and fans can expect more drama, goals, tears, and magic as the road to Berlin edges closer.
