What to look out for on EURO 2024 Day 1️⃣7️⃣

Saturday produced a no end of drama at EURO 2024 with shock exits and lightning storms.

Here’s The Debrief from all of that action.

Now it’s time to look ahead to what Sunday has in store.

Who is playing today? 👀

England and Slovakia will be aiming to book their place in the quarter-final in the day’s early game in Gelsenkirchen.

Then attention shifts to Köln, where Spain and Georgia will fight it out for a meeting with Germany in the last eight.

Player to watch 🔎

Georgia have already taken on the mantle of EURO 2024’s fairy tale and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains an integral part of that narrative.

The Napoli playmaker was in inspired form as Willy Sagnol’s side rounded off their Group F campaign with a surprise 2-0 win over Portugal.

Another star turn from Kvaratskhelia against Spain could prove a tipping point as the Crusaders set their sights on reaching the last eight.

Must-watch video 🎥

Denmark’s EURO 2024 exit came under a literal cloud as they bowed out against Germany during a thunderstorm.
