England were not at their free-flowing best in Group C but still topped their section and remain unbeaten. Glimpses of the genius that can be produced by forwards such as Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Phil Foden were seen in all three games. Bellingham’s overhead kick forced extra time in the round of 16 win against Slovakia before Kane headed the winner, while they also came from behind against Switzerland thanks to Bukayo Saka’s equaliser before triumphing on penalties, converting all five spot kicks. The Three Lions are a victory away from a second consecutive EURO final.

France failed to win their group for the first time since EURO 2012, following up a battling win against Austria with draws against the Netherlands and Poland. They remain unbeaten, though, and Kylian Mbappรฉ got off the mark with a penalty in their final Group D game before they edged past Belgium in the round of 16. Spot kick prowess again saw Les Bleus through in the quarter-finals, converting five out of five to avenge their EURO 2016 final defeat by Portugal.

Netherlands got off to a mixed start, with a fine comeback victory against Poland followed up by a clean sheet in a goalless draw with France before a dramatic 3-2 loss to Austria left them going through as one of the best third-placed outfits. They made light work of their round of 16 tie, though, comfortably beating Romania 3-0 in a game where they showed just how dangerous they can be. A hard-fought victory from behind against Tรผrkiye followed to confirm a place in a EURO semi-final for the first time since 2004.

La Roja have been in excellent form in Germany, winning all five games while scoring 11 goals and conceding only twice in the process. Winger Lamine Yamal made history by becoming theย youngest player ever to appear at a EUROย against Croatia, and he then laid on an assist as Spain showed their mettle by overcoming the hosts in extra time in the quarter-finals after conceding a late equaliser. They will become the first side to win four EURO titles if they triumph in Germany.
