With the start of the third round of the group stage of the European Cup, the promotion of the giants has become more and more exciting. The first half of the knockout round gathered four giants from Germany, Spain, Portugal and France, which can be described as star-studded and lively. However, for the fans, coaches, and players of these teams, there is no leisure to enjoy the "liveliness". In the next competition, their error tolerance rate is extremely low, and if there is a mistake in playing, they will be eliminated, and four years of hard work will be in vain.

To tell the truth, I didn't expect these teams to get together, it seems that the competition after the expansion is indeed too much accidental.

It is not difficult for Germany and Spain to break through, and it is estimated that they can all reach the quarterfinals. Compared with the two teams, it is estimated that Germany has a higher winning rate, after all, it has the advantage of the host. Spain should be the first team in the entire group stage giants. However, their problems are more obvious, the ability to score goals, the ability to grasp opportunities, and the confidence of the big clubs (there are too many young people), which may add up to a relatively big obstacle in the VS Germany. Spain should be doing well in the future, and there is a possibility that a new version of the former "Golden Dynasty" will appear, but this tournament is not expected to be their chance.

Portugal and France are in this group, and Mbappe should lead the team to win. It is estimated that Ronaldo's team will not be able to create too much threat to France, and France will win if it is stronger, and the more stable five shields are not Deschamps' opponents, let alone comparing the experience of the competition. Although Mbappe's side were mediocre in the group stage, they will get better and better, as they did at the World Cup. This is the inevitability of years of accumulation, and Mbappe naturally wants to prove it, after all, if Real Madrid can appear at the Bernabeu with the European Cup trophy, then the closed loop of the "Green formula" will most likely be self-defeating. That's what he thinks, and it's also Deschamps' fundamental guarantee of victory.

To put it a little more, Italy in the bottom half still has a chance. They are likely to face England in the quarter-finals, an old rival they have never feared, and England's fatigue this time is also a difficult problem to solve. Kane, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Rice and Bukayo Saka are really good, but Gareth Southgate is really not good, which will be the first obstacle for them to continue to move forward. If Italy can reach the last four, then they are not far from trophies, championships and title defenses.

Another major feature of this European Cup is that there are very few dark horses in upsets, and it is estimated that the championship trophy will most likely be born among the giants. This is also in line with the trend of gradual promotion and development of the green industry.
