Can La Roja falter? Indomitable in the group stage, Spain must defeat Georgia in the round of 16, Sunday June 30 at the Cologne Stadium (Germany), before looking further into the competition. After having swept Croatia (3-0) and dominated without blinking Italy (1-0) and Albania (1-0), in the toughest group of the competition, the Iberians are moving forward confidently at the moment to face the Little Thumb of the competition.
Georgia, which is participating in its first major international tournament, brought down Portugal (2-0), certainly reworked and already assured of first place, to achieve a historic qualification in the knockout phase. The twirling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze (three goals) could break through a Spanish defense with a still immaculate record. The two teams meet again after having appeared in the same group during the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024, with four successes for Spain including a demonstration on Georgian soil in September 2023 (7 -1).
