Euro 2024
The outcome for the “death group”. The teams in the very tough Pool B of Euro 2024 will finally be decided on their fate, this Monday, June 24 in the evening. For their third match in the competition, Spain, Italy, Croatia and Albania should deliver a great show in the two matches of the day, while only the Roja is currently certain of reaching the round of 16. Who will join Germany, Portugal and Switzerland, three nations already also qualified for the next round? TF1info gives you the keys to the meetings planned for this Monday.
The goal to review
It allowed the Mannschaft to maintain its first place in Group A. Niclas Füllkrug equalized in added time (1-1) for Germany on Sunday evening, at the end of a match that got off to a bad start. The Nati had opened the scoring in the first period, with a nice recovery from Ndoye (28th) and for a long time believed to have achieved the great operation of the evening. Messy and ineffective, the Germans created some interesting situations for themselves, but without ever concluding.
It was ultimately the entries of Füllkrug, scorer with a furious header in the 90th +2, and Raum, decisive passer, which allowed Julian Nagelsmann’s men to break the deadlock. If the technician perhaps made a mistake in renewing the exact same composition since the start of the tournament, he made up for it thanks to his daring changes. Leading with 7 points, Germany should avoid a tough opponent in the round of 16. Switzerland is also qualified. Hungary, victorious over Scotland (1-0), can still hope to become a better third.
The poster not to be missed
Croatia – Italy (Pool B). Kick-off at 9 p.m.
The title holder must not make any missteps. Italy, the reigning European champion, faces Croatia this Monday evening at 9 p.m. (to be followed live on TF1, TF1+ and with live commentary on TF1info), in Leipzig. An exciting meeting between two teams who still seem far from their best level. There Blue Team has for the moment ensured the essentials, by winning against Albania (1-0) on the first day, but was then largely dominated by Spain in the following match (0-1) . Result: the Italians must win against Croatia, who, author of a mediocre tournament so far (one draw, one defeat), must also win to hope to qualify.
Luciano Spalletti’s men will have to strengthen their offensive animation to undermine the Croatian defense. On the last meeting against the Roja, the creativity of Federico Chiesa was not enough to have enough impact on Unai Simon’s goals: Italy only had one shot on target during the entire match, compared to nine for Spain. On the other hand, the Croatian executives will be keen to put on a better face, like Marcelo Brozović, who was in poor form at the start of the tournament. In office since 2017, coach Zlatko Dalić also appears weakened and is counting on his team to react. “During my seven years at the helm of Croatia, there has been far more praise than criticism, but I have no problem with criticism, he assured after the draw against Albania. I always take responsibility whether we lose or not.“
