Let's try to predict the winner of the Euros 2024 using three important facts from the past.

Fact #1: No country has won the Euro on its home turf in the last 40 years. France was the last one to do so, back in 1984. Also, host nations lost three of the last five finals. Portugal, France, and England lost in 2004, 2016, and 2020, respectively.

Fact #2: Only one team has successfully defended its title: Spain in 2012.

Fact #3: German manager Otto Rehhagel remains the only foreign coach to win the Euros, which he did with Greece in 2004.

So, what does this mean for Euros 2024? The chances for host Germany and defending champion Italy are slim. Portugal and Belgium have foreign managers. The Netherlands and England tend to choke in big competitions. Based on the facts, France and Spain have the best shot at glory! Who do you think will lift the trophy? Comment below.
