Spain successfully came back from a goal down to Georgia after a Robin Le Normand own goal in the 18th minute.

"I think we controlled the game at all times by playing excellent football against an opponent who defended and counter-attacked very well. The players had an effective performance.

We need to appreciate the importance of this victory, because our opponents are a really strong team," said the Spain coach.

The superiority of the Spanish team was shown by the fact that this team had the ball for 76% of the match and launched 35 shots towards the opponent's goal. Meanwhile, the Georgia players only had 4 shots and did not pose a threat to Unai Simon's goal.

"We knew that Georgia's danger came from transition and counter-attack, but they didn't have any shots on target. Of course, when they took the lead, we were a bit nervous but we created a lot of chances after that and the result could have been 8-1," coach De La Fuente shared.

After "crushing" Georgia in the round of 16, Spain will face host Germany in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. Coach De La Fuente is confident with Spain's squad and highly appreciates the strength of the German team.

"We have a lot of confidence and a talented, quality squad. Germany are a fantastic team, they have some of the best players in the world and they are very organised, very disciplined. But they will be facing a Spain who are determined, very well organised and have a lot of ambition.

I know there are many factors that go into a win, but I hope my players will maintain their form in the next match," said coach De La Fuente.

The quarter-final match between Spain and Germany will take place at 11:00 p.m. on July 5 at Stuttgart Arena (Germany).
