New Delhi: Spain, the former champions, are set to face underdogs Georgia in the UEFA Euro 2024 round of 16 encounter in Cologne on Sunday. Spain distinguished themselves in the group stage as the only team with a perfect record, while Georgia secured their knockout berth with a stunning victory over Portugal. Spain narrowly defeated Albania 1-0 in their most recent match and are eager to raise their game against Georgia.
With previous victories over reigning champions Italy and a dominant performance against Croatia, Spain is advancing to the knockout stages of their fifth consecutive major tournament. They face a challenging route, with a potential quarter-final against the hosts and a possible semi-final against France.
The Crusaders capitalised on Portugal’s defensive lapses, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scoring a brilliant opener and Georges Mikautadze bolstering his Golden Boot ambitions with another goal. Giorgi Mamardashvili’s outstanding goalkeeping was pivotal against Portugal and also stood out in their initial defeat to Turkey and the subsequent 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic.
Spain boasts a talented young squad and will need to be precise and effective to succeed in their knockout matches. Although they are the stronger team on paper and enter the match with an advantage, they must remain vigilant as Georgia has the potential to cause an upset and deliver a strong performance on their day.
