After navigating the group stage via very different paths, Spain and Euro 2024 underdogs Georgia will face off in a last-16 match in Cologne on Sunday evening.
La Roja progressed as Group B winners with a perfect record, while the Georgians secured a spot in the knockout phase with a surprising victory over Portugal. The two teams will now compete for a place in the quarter-finals.
Achieving three group stage victories at a European Championship for the first time since 2008 – the start of their era of dominance – Spain made 10 changes yet still secured maximum points in their Monday match against Albania.
