A battle to the last breath, but in the end the Germany comes out against the first big team of Euro 2024. The Spain Luis de la Fuente was this close to victory in regulation time thanks to a goal by Dani Olmo in the 51st minute, then Wirtz collected a rebound in the area at the last minute and converted it to make it 1-1, which sent extra time.
Precious minutes to play for the passage to the semi-final, until Mikel Merino (substitute in the 80th minute) headed in the 2-1 that gave the victory to the Red Furies. Instead, condemning Germany to oblivion and elimination from the home tournament, in front of their own fans. A nightmare given the hope rekindled with the goal of the Leverkusen attacking midfielder in the 89th minute. And here is the farewell of a big team to Euro 2024.
