The UEFA Euro 2024 quarterfinals get underway from today with a blockbuster encounter that pits two favourites against each other.

Indeed, hosts Germany take on one of the tournament favourites, Spain, in one of the most hotly-anticipated encounters of the competition.

And there will be some FC Barcelona presentation on the pitch tonight with both teams consisting of players from the Catalan club.

Indeed, Barcelona midfield maestro Pedri and attacking prodigy Lamine Yamal start for Spain against Germany at the MHPArena in Stuttgart.

But there is no place in the team for Ferran Torres, although he could come onto the field at a later point in the match.

The Blaugrana’s top summer transfer target, Nico Williams also features from the get-go for La Roja.

Meanwhile, Barcelona ace Ilkay Gundogan gets the nod in midfield for Germany, with the veteran star captaining the team.

However, there is no space for Marc-Andre ter Stegen, with Manuel Neuer continued to be preferred between the sticks.
