After the madness lived at the Parken in Copenhagen, Spain showed that it is going from less to more in this European Championship. After a 0-0 against Sweden and a 1-1 against Poland that set off the alarms, the Red is displaying its best football, getting the pass with a ‘little hand’ (5-0) to Slovakia and they also reign in chaos against Croatia (3-5) to make it to the quarterfinals.
Once the final whistle sounded, it was less than 15 minutes before the initial sounded in France-Switzerland. There, the surprise jumped. Them bleusWorld champions and favorites for victory, they crashed into a brave Switzerland that pushed until they forced penalties. There, Mbappé failed the fifth and ended the tournament for the great candidate to get the trophy. Thus, Spain will have to face the Swiss in the second knockout round.

England has a quota of between 2.80 and 3 and is already the clear candidate to lift the trophy.
Behind it is Italy (4.5-5 odds), with which it would face in a theoretical semifinals if Red beat Switzerland and Azzurra beat Belgium. Those of Roberto Martínez, whose quota for being champion is eight euros, would be the other possible rival of Spain in case of passing the quarterfinals. Against both of them, she is still a favorite.
How much do you pay for a ‘fairy tale’?
