This was one of the challenges of this Euro 2024 draw: who would face Germany in the opening match, on June 14, at 9 p.m., at the Munich Football Arena? It is ultimately Scotland who will participate in this first meeting of the competition and who will have the difficult task of challenging the Mannschaft at home.
Three years ago, during Euro 2020, played a year later because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Italy defeated Turkey at the Olimpico Stadium in Rome (0-3), launching its competition perfectly , which she finally won against England.
During the qualifying phase, Scotland finished second in Group A, just behind Spain. The Scots still eliminated Erling Haaland’s Norway. In eight matches, they have compiled five victories, two draws and one defeat, against Spain.
The Scottish coach, Steve Clarke, will be able to count on some very valuable elements to try to shake up the Germans, who are still widely favorites. Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson and Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay are notably part of this Scottish team, which was eliminated during the group stage in 2021.
