The last sixteen agenda

The group stage over, it's time to start making plans for the knockout stages of Euro 2024, with plenty of Barça players in action

The European Championship in Germany continues for 10 of the 11 players involved, with just Robert Lewandowski's Poland failing to make it out of the group stage. Things carry on for all of Gündoğan and Ter Stegen (Germany), Christensen (Denmark), Ferran Torres, Pedri, Fermín and Lamine Yamal (Spain), João Félix and João Cancelo (Portugal) and Kounde (France), all of whom have their eyes firmly set on the Berlin final.

The games get back under way this Saturday, and four of the eight games will have some kind of Barça involvement:

Germany v Denmark

The only blaugrana head-to-head is on Saturday 29 June at 9pm CEST in Dortmund. Gündoğan and Ter Stegen feature for the hosts, who marched confidently though Group A with 7 points, while Andreas Christensen and Denmark drew all three of their games in Group C, which was still enough to finish as high as second behind England.

Spain v Georgia

With Ferran Torres, Pedri, Fermín and Lamine Yamal all in the team, Spain was the only side to win all three of its group matches. It's been an impressive tournament so far for La Roja, and the next test are Euro debutants Georgia, who have managed to extend their stay in Germany by beating Portugal on the final day. That game is happening on Sunday 30 June in Cologne, kick-off at 9pm CEST.

France v Belgium

After beating Austria, France then drew with both the Netherlands and Poland, meaning they had to settle for second in Group D. For Jules Kounde and company that means they now face Belgium, who finished second in an extraordinary group in which all of the teams finished with four points. That's on Monday at 6pm CEST in the Düsseldorf Arena.

Portugal v Slovenia

João Félix and João Cancelo's side are also playing on Monday, but in the later fixture, starting at 9pm CEST in the Frankfurt Arena. Portugal had already won Group F with a game to spare, and now face Slovenia who, like Denmark, have managed to qualify despite not winning a single game.

The other fixtures

Switzerland v Italy (29/6 at 6pm CEST)
England v Slovakia (30/6 at 6pm CEST)
Romania v Netherlands (2/7 at 6pm CEST)
Austria v Turkey (2/7 at 9pm CEST).
