Before the tournament began, Germany was one of the favorite teams to lift the UEFA Euro 2024 trophy. With the group stage over, the idea that Julian Nagelsmann’s team could win its fourth title in history was solidified.
The German team had a brilliant group stage where only the first two matches were enough to seal qualification to the Round of 16. In the opening match they left no doubts that they wanted to win the trophy and destroyed Scotland without any problems by 5-1.
They then secured qualification by defeating Hungary 2-0 and in the last match against Switzerland they managed to tie the game in one of the last plays of the match with a goal by Niclas Füllkrug. Now they will have to face Christian Eriksen’s Denmark in the Round of 16.
