Liverpool fans have plenty to look forward to at Euro 2024, as the tournament will feature 10 Liverpool players spread across seven different teams. Three of these players will even have the honor of captaining their nations during the summer competition.
First up, we have Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez representing England. Alexander-Arnold has become one of Gareth Southgate’s preferred options in midfield, showcasing his versatility and skill on the pitch.
Meanwhile, Andy Robertson will lead Scotland for a second successive European Championships. As the captain, all eyes will be on him when Scotland faces Germany in the opening match of the tournament. This will be a crucial game for Robertson to set the tone for his team’s campaign. Additionally, Robertson will come face to face with Hungary, led by their skipper Dominik Szoboszlai, in the last round of group matches. This match could potentially be pivotal in determining the progression of both teams.
Virgil van Dijk, captain of the Netherlands, will have two Liverpool teammates by his side – Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch. The Netherlands will face Ibrahima Konate’s France in what promises to be a thrilling Group D encounter. With such talent on display, this match will surely be one to watch.
Diogo Jota will be representing Portugal in Group F, under the guidance of Roberto Martinez. Portugal’s opening clash against Vitezslav Jaros’ Czech Republic will be their toughest group match. However, Jaros is unlikely to see much action unless the first-choice goalkeeper gets injured.
As for the key dates to note, the tournament kicks off on June 14 at 8pm (BST) with Scotland taking on Germany at the Allianz Arena. From there, matches will continue until the final on July 14 at 8pm. The knockout stages will see the Round of 16 take place from June 29 to July 2, followed by the quarter-finals on July 5-6, the semi-finals on July 9-10, and ultimately the final on July 14.
Liverpool fans can rest assured that they will be kept updated with every story relating to their players in Germany. This coverage will not only provide insight into their performances but also explain how their activities could affect Liverpool’s pre-season. With the tournament being broadcast live on UK terrestrial television, fans will have the opportunity to witness their favorite Liverpool stars in action.
Overall, Euro 2024 promises to be an exciting competition for Liverpool fans. With a strong contingent of players representing various nations, there will be plenty of red-tinted glasses in use throughout the tournament.
