Germany will beat Spain 1-0 in the Euro 2024 quarter-final, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said with a mischievous smile on July 4, when asked to predict the outcome of Friday’s game he plans to attend in Stuttgart.
Scholz’s bet was in sharp contrast to that of Walter the orangutan oracle at Dortmund Zoo which only hours earlier picked Spain as the winner.
Germany takes on fellow title contenders Spain in their mouth-watering clash on July 5, hoping to end a winless run at tournaments against them that stretches back to 1988.
The Germans are enjoying their best international tournament in eight years with home fans desperate for their first title in a decade but their match against the Spaniards is also seen as a premature final between two of the hottest teams in the competition.
