Spain and Germany's Euro 2024 Journey

Spain is the only team to have achieved a perfect record (9 points) in the group stage, winning all three matches. They continued their impressive run with a convincing 4-1 victory over Georgia in the Round of 16, extending their goal tally to 9 while conceding only one goal.

Meanwhile, the German national team boasts the strongest attack in the tournament so far, with a total of 10 goals, half of which (5 goals) were scored in their opening match against Scotland. They have conceded only two goals in four matches, qualifying as winners of their Group A with 7 points. They continued their strong performance in the Round of 16 with a 2-0 win over Denmark.

These statistics highlight the offensive and defensive strength of both teams, promising an exciting clash in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals.

Ilkay Gundogan on Home Advantage and Penalty Execution:

Ilkay Gundogan emphasized the advantage of German fans, stating: "We want to create a positive atmosphere again in the way we play. The atmosphere in Stuttgart against Hungary was fantastic, comparable to Dortmund. This could give us an extra boost and make the Spaniards somewhat uncomfortable, as playing away from home can be challenging."

Regarding his role as one of the penalty takers for the German national team, he explained: "The key word here is routine. When taking a penalty, the pressure in the match is much greater than in training. I don't think you can fully simulate penalty kicks in training, but you can practice the routine."

He continued: "The routine includes running up, and the spot where the ball hits the ground. The pressure is the hardest part. I think of Harry Kane, even one of the best penalty takers in the world can miss sometimes. Anyone who takes on this responsibility and takes a penalty deserves respect, even if they make a mistake."

This sets the stage for what promises to be a thrilling encounter between Spain and Germany in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals, with both teams aiming to advance to the semifinals and continue their quest for European glory.
