Former Russian national team defender Renat Yanbayev believes that no team had the chance to defeat the Spaniards at the 2008 European Championships.
Team Spain won EURO 2008 by beating the German team in the final. The teams won bronze in the tournament Russia and Turkey. The Russians eliminated the Netherlands (3: 1) in the quarter-finals, then lost to the Spaniards in the semi-final with a score of 0: 3.
— From the outside, it looked like there wasn’t enough emotion for Spain in the EURO 2008 semi-finals.
– Damn, Spain had a level – absolutely space! At that point, no one probably would have beaten her. Xavi and Iniesta did this! Villa and Torres were in that order. After the Euro, Spain dominated: in 2010-2012, it won everything. 2008 was the beginning of this dominant Spain.
Nobody probably stood a chance. It’s not that we didn’t have enough emotions, we were already tired or broken, no, it was just incredibly difficult to beat them. It was probably unrealistic at that time,” Yanbaev said as quoted by “Championship”.
