The three people Pep Guardiola considers "favorites" to win Euro 2024
England is among his top three picks to win Euro 2024, according to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, but Gareth Southgate's team must demonstrate that they can "take the next step."
Many members of his City team, including Ruben Dias, Kyle Walker, Phil Foden, and Kevin De Bruyne, will be competing in the event, so the Spaniard will be keeping a close eye on things.
After defeating England at Wembley in 2021, the reigning champions Italy have regressed and were unable to secure a spot in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Many people believe that France, who lost the championship in the Doha final, will win it in Germany for the third time.
Guardiola declared, "The favorites are the usual ones."
Though Germany, as the hosts, might be the favorites, there will still be some shocks. Both Spain and England have clearly undergone generational changes. They are getting closer, but they still need to take that step.
From the center of the field forward, they [England] have a really good generation and are extremely close. I've lived there, so I'm curious to know how they're doing.
Scotland is the team that Germany will play first in the competition.
The Southgate team will have to wait until Sunday night in Gelsenkirchen when they play Serbia.
On Saturday, Spain plays Croatia. Later in the group, Spain plays Albania and Italy.
