Both groups had three strong teams in the same group, known as the "group of death". Group A includes Spain, Italy, Croatia and Northern Macedonia, while Group F includes France, the Netherlands, Germany and Hungary.

Group A is a group with balanced strength. Spain, Italy and Croatia are regular visitors to the European Cup. They all have rich experience and excellent players.

Our goal is to win the European Cup, we have confidence, we have ability, we have determination."

Italy is a traditional strong team in the European Cup. They have reached the final of the European Cup for four times, but only won the championship once. That was in the 1968 European Cup, when they defeated Yugoslavia 2-0 at home and won their first European Cup trophy. They are also the first team to win the European Cup in history. Roberto Mancini, their head coach, said that they would try to rewrite history and win the championship again.

They also won all the group matches of the European Cup in 2008, but were eliminated by Turkey on penalties. They have never broken the curse of the top four, and they have never entered the final of the European Cup. Their head coach Zalko Dalic said that they would strive to break through themselves and make history. He said: "We are very excited to participate in the European Cup, which is our dream and our goal. We know that our team is very complex, our opponents are excellent, but we will not be afraid, we will use our strength and belief to fight them. Our goal is to win the European Cup, we have confidence, we have ability, we have courage."

Group F is a group with superior strength. France, the Netherlands and Germany are all the giants of the European Cup. They all have a glorious history and a strong lineup. The confrontation between them will be a fierce contest. France has won the European Cup twice. They won the European Cup in 1984 and 2000. They are also the second team to win the European Cup twice in a row. Their coach Didier Deschamps said that they would fight for the top of Europe again. He said: "We are very happy to participate in the European Cup, which is our honor and our responsibility. We know that our team is strong, our opponents are very strong, but we will not be afraid, we will use our football and style to challenge them. Our goal is to win the European Cup, we have confidence, we have ability, we have determination."

Our goal is to win the European Cup, we have confidence, we have ability, we have passion."

Germany is the champion of the European Cup for three times. They won the European Cup in 1972, 1980 and 1996. They are also the team that has won the most times in the history of the European Cup. Their coach Joachim Loew said that they would go all out to win the European Cup again. He said: "We are very happy to participate in the European Cup, which is our honor and our responsibility.
