Germany eliminated from Euros
Die Mannschaft falls to Spain in quarter-finals
Germany's dream of winning the European Championship on home soil came to an end on Tuesday as they were eliminated by Spain in the quarter-finals.
The match was decided by a penalty shootout after the two teams could not be separated during 120 minutes of play. Spain won the shootout 6-5, with Jordi Alba scoring the winning penalty.
It was a cruel end for Germany, who had been the better team for much of the game. They created a number of good chances, but they were unable to find the back of the net. Spain, on the other hand, were more clinical in front of goal and they took their chances when they came.
The defeat will be a major disappointment for Germany, who were hoping to win their fourth European Championship title. It is also a blow for coach Joachim Löw, who is under pressure to deliver after a disappointing World Cup in 2018.
For Spain, the victory is a major boost. They have now reached the semi-finals of the European Championship for the first time since 2012. They will face Italy in the semi-finals on Tuesday.
Conclusion
Germany's elimination from the European Championship is a major disappointment for the team and their fans. It is also a blow for coach Joachim Löw, who is under pressure to deliver after a disappointing World Cup in 2018. For Spain, the victory is a major boost. They have now reached the semi-finals of the European Championship for the first time since 2012 and will be confident of going all the way.
