Querfeld Believes Austria Can Triumph Over Any Team At Euro 2024

Austria midfielder Leopold Querfeld believes his team can triumph over any opponent at Euro 2024 after advancing to the knockout stages in Germany. Querfeld, who had only two caps before the tournament, made his European Championship debut in Austria's victory over the Netherlands on Tuesday. The defender played 26 minutes as Ralf Rangnick's squad topped Group D following France's 1-1 draw with Poland.

Austria will be closely watching this evening's matches to find out their next opponents at Leipzig Stadium next Tuesday. Rangnick's team will face the runners-up of Group F, with Turkiye, Czechia, and Georgia all vying for a spot in the knockout stages on Matchday 3.
