Spain faces Georgia tonight at the RheinEnergie Stadium in Cologne in the round of 16 of the Euro Cup. La Roja comes into the match as a clear favorite: not only is it the only team that has won its three matches – against Croatia, Portugal and Albania – in the group stage and the only one that has not conceded a single goal, but it has already overcome emphatically against the Georgian team – 1-7 and 3-1 – in the two matches they played in 2023 during the qualifying phase for the continental tournament. De la Fuente has opted for the eleven that beat Italy in the group stage: Unai; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella; Rodri, Pedri, Fabián; Lamine, Nico Williams and Morata. Georgia lands in the qualifiers after losing against Türkiye, drawing with the Czech Republic and beating Portugal. The team that advances to the quarterfinals will face Germany in that round, which defeated Denmark yesterday.
