Spain vs Germany Predicted XI: Who Should Start In Mammoth Quarterfinal Encounter At Euro 2024?

The host nation of Germany are all set to face Spain in a mouthwatering Euro 2024 quarterfinal clash at the Stuttgart Arena in Stuttgart.  

Both Spain and Germany are entering into the quarterfinal high on confidence after being splendid throughout the group stages and winning their Round of 16 clashes against Denmark and Georgia respectively.

However, Germany are unbeaten in the tournament with their only draw coming in their final group stage game against Switzerland. Their 2-0 win over Denmark in the Round of 16 was a testament of the team's character.
