Euro 2024 continues to move at breakneck speed with three teams already through to the knockout stage after the first two rounds of group games. Spain and Portugal know they will top their groups while Germany, the other side with maximum points to their name, are guaranteed a top-two berth. Despite some surprise results and disappointing performances, most of the other leading contenders -- England, France, the Netherlands -- seem bound to join them.
But who are the favorites to win it all in Berlin next month? Let our power rankings guide you. 1 -- France It might still be a bit too stodgy in attack, especially when Kylian Mbappe is on the sidelines, but no matter how tedious it is to keep hammering this point home, France win tournaments playing like this. Anyway, more chances could have been converted in the draw with the Dutch had Antoine Griezmann not had that most curious of things, a lackluster finishing night in a France shirt.
2 -- Germany Putting up gaudy possession numbers -- through their first two games they have had 70.5% of the ball -- Germany seem utterly at ease with the stakes on them as home nation. Indeed they seem to be forging diamonds under the pressure, not just the big names like Jamal Musiala but Maximilian Mittelstadt and Robert Andrich.
3 +1 Spain It might be argued that no one has had a tougher early fixture list than Spain, who have brushed past both Croatia and Italy while putting up a competition leading four non-penalty expected goals (npxG)..
