The eight teams that will meet in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 have already been defined: Germany, England, France, Spain, Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands and Belgium. Here we tell you which are the players to follow in this new phase of the tournament.
At just 21 years old, the defender of the Belgian national team is one of the key pieces of the national team that managed to advance to the semis on the last day of the group stage. The center back was essential to close the advances of her rivals. With a loss, a draw and a win, Belgium will face Sweden.
The current Ajax player is not yet 20 years old and is fighting for ownership in a very well-armed team. The young striker unbalances in the rival area and despite the fact that she always starts on the substitute bench, when she enters the field she leaves her mark on the goal.
In 2021 she was named the Austrian Player of the Year and was the top scorer in the German Bundesliga in the 2020/21 season with 23 goals for Hoffenheim. The striker is a player with great capacity for anticipation.
France was one of the first to qualify for the quarterfinals. Katoto and Cascarino are two of the figures in the team led by Corinne Diacre. Unfortunately, in the last match, Katoto was out of the tournament due to a serious injury. However, the team will rely on the talent of the Lyon forward, who has been chosen as the man of the match against Belgium, to continue advancing in the Cup.
The captain of Germany is one of the figures of a team that has been demonstrating a forceful and solid game, relying on several of its players. In the group stage, the German team made it clear that it is a candidate to win the Cup and some of the high points of the team are the experience and efficiency in the network of the Wolfsburg striker.
The Barcelona player knew how to put the team on her shoulder after the forced absence of Alexia Putellas due to injury. The midfielder has already had two MPVs in the Euro and will be the leader of the Spanish team in the tough game against England.
The Swedish team won two of the three matches they played and the other tied. They beat Portugal 5-0 and confidently arrive at the quarterfinals. One of the key players in the team is the Calcio Milan striker who was named player of the match in the last game.
The English team is at an outstanding level in the Euro, all its players stand out in their roles and there are no cracks in their game. The Arsenal striker is in the running for the tournament’s Ballon d’Or, she was the first player to score in the Euro and has five goals in the group stage.
