Oyarzabal Confident in Spain's Chances Against Germany in Euro 2024 Quarterfinals

Posted : 02 July 2024

Spain forward Mikel Oyarzabal said Tuesday that despite not being considered favourites before Euro 2024, he is confident the team can defeat hosts Germany in the quarterfinals to continue their impressive run. Both Spain and Germany have won the competition three times each, but few saw Luis de la Fuente's squad as strong contenders for the trophy this summer.

 

After breezing past reigning champions Italy and heavyweights Croatia in the group stage, and then dispatching Georgia in the last 16, Spain is now seen as the most in-form team of the tournament. "They say it now, but three weeks ago nobody said that (we were favourites) about us," said Real Sociedad forward Oyarzabal, emphasizing the team's consistent approach and self-belief.

 

Even within Spain, La Roja was not initially considered top contenders, despite winning the Nations League in 2023, ending an 11-year trophy drought. Oyarzabal insists the squad will not let the newfound support and expectations affect their focus. "We see the support, but we're also a bit removed from it," he noted, appreciating Spain's isolated base camp in the southwest of Germany, near the Black Forest.

 

Oyarzabal praised the team's unity and talent, saying, "For me and for any of us here, we've got the best national team possible. We've got the best players, the best teammates. We're all for one, there's no divisions within the team, we all feel important." Reflecting on their past encounters with Germany, he remained cautious but confident, acknowledging the individual talents of their opponents while believing in Spain's collective strength.
