Ahead of the European Championship quarter-finals, German legend, Stilic, was interviewed about the clash between Germany and Spain. Stilic believes that the home pressure might weigh down on Germany and Spain will ultimately advance. Regardless of who wins, they will be the strongest contenders, not England or France.
Stilic played for Real Madrid during his career, so he was most frequently asked about the quarter-final matchup between Germany and Spain. “It’s going to be a great match, anything can happen. We would prefer to face Georgia, Spain is a bad draw.”
Stilic believes that Spain is undoubtedly a strong opponent. “Spain is even stronger now. The match against Georgia proved their power. They have great young players, like 16-year-old Yaml. He is simply unbelievable.”
Stilic also believes that Spain’s Rodri is more powerful than Germany’s Kimmich. “If I had to choose between the two, I would definitely pick Rodri.”
Following this, Stilic discussed the favorites for the championship. The winner of the match between Germany and Spain will be the biggest contender. “Even though the match is unpredictable, the winning team will definitely be the ultimate favorite. France is not, let alone England. They just can’t convince me. Germany or Spain are the biggest contenders.”
The German home team has not been able to win against Spain for a long time. Stilic believes that, “Since 2010, Spain has been one of the most powerful teams in the world. This is also why Germany has been repeatedly defeated.” He then discussed players like Kroos and Rudiger who play for Real Madrid. He also talked about his former team, Real Madrid.
Finally, Stilic predicted the outcome of the match between Germany and Spain. “Home advantage might put pressure on Germany, which will be tough for them. My prediction is that Spain will advance.”
