La Roja won their first title in 1964, before winning back to back championships in 2008 and 2012. The then defending champions were eliminated in the round of 16 stage in Euro 2016, losing to Italy. This is Spain's 11th appearance at the Euros, and this is their sixth appearance at the knockout stages. As for Switzerland, they made it to the Euros for the fifth time in history, and this campaign is already their best finish at the competition. The Swiss were eliminated in the group stage on their first three attempts, but made the round of 16 last edition, before qualifying for the quarter-finals this time around.
