Their latest selection features 11 players over the age of 30 and just one under-25.<\/p>\n<p>It may well be that, inspired by fervent home crowds, the likes of Thomas Muller, Ilkay Gundogan and Mats Hummels can fight the dying light and go all the way.<\/p>\n<p>Some are banging at the door &#8211; like Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz and Karim Adeyemi &#8211; but the old guard are proving stubborn to budge.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Nagelsmann can enact a reset for Germany but at the minute it seems to be a case of just presenting a capable side to avoid embarrassment.<\/p>\n<p>Not too many will fear them after what has been a less-than-ideal preparation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/16\/12\/77874895-12757137-image-a-44_1700137033789.jpg\" height=\"458\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Germany may have home advantage but their build-up to the Euros has been a shocker<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/16\/12\/77876453-12757137-image-a-45_1700137070336.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Julian Nagelsmann replaced Hansi Flick in the hotseat and will aim to turn things around<\/p>\n<p><span>SPAIN<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Euro 2020 &#8211; lost to Italy in semi-finals<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Qualified on October 15, top of Group A<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When Luis Enrique stepped down following their World Cup exit to Morocco, Spain appeared to be in a state of flux.<\/p>\n<p>There were misgivings over the appointment of under-21 coach Luis de la Fuente ahead of a more prominent name, something amplified when they lost to Scotland in March.<\/p>\n<p>But they&#8217;ve since qualified for Euro 2024 with ease and won the UEFA Nations League to restore faith in the national side.<\/p>\n<p>Spain&#8217;s team is infused with some seriously talented youngsters like Pedri, Gavi, Ansu Fati, Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde, making them an exciting prospect.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re not as good as the vintage 2008-2012 teams but the presence of Manchester City lynchpin Rodri in midfield and captain Alvaro Morata up front serves as a reminder of their quality.<\/p>\n<p>Will this tournament come a little too soon for the youngsters to excel?

He has scored nine goals in qualifying, taking his international record to 127 goals in 203 games.<\/p>\n<p>His sulky reaction to being dropped at the World Cup derailed Portugal&#8217;s whole campaign so Martinez has a balancing act to perform.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the baton has to pass to Diogo Jota, Joao Felix, Goncalo Ramos and Co. It&#8217;s certainly true that Portugal have a side packed with quality, with Ruben Neves, Bernardo Silva, Matheus Nunes and Bruno Fernandes also there.<\/p>\n<p>But can they deliver when it really matters?
