Earlier in the round, a truly memorable evening of football saw Spain defeat Croatia 5-3, and Switzerland dump world champions France out of the competition on penalties. While, likes of Italy, Belgium, Denmark and the Czech Republic also booked their last-16 spots.
Ahead of the eagerly-anticipated quarter-finals getting underway on Friday, we've taken a look at stats experts WhoScored's team of the tournament so far.
Here's our rundown of the players who, based on a wealth of data, make the best starting XI of Euro 2020:
Here's our rundown of the players who, based on a wealth of data, make the best starting XI of Euro 2020:
5. LB: Leonardo Spinazzola - 7.6/10
Italy have emerged as real contenders for the trophy, although they did have a slight wobble against Austria, where they needed extra time to make the quarter-finals. Spinazzola, who arguably boasts the surname of the tournament, has been dazzling, and provided an assist in the aforementioned Austria game. Photo: Mike Hewitt
6. RM: Ivan Perisic - 7.4/10
The 32-year-old helped to break English hearts in the 2018 World Cup semi-final, and returned to international tournament football with two goals and an assist in the Euro 2020 group stages. He missed Croatia's 5-3 loss to Spain after testing positive for Covid-19. Photo: Paul Ellis - Pool
7. CM: Kevin de Bruyne - 8/10
After recovering from multiple facial fractures suffered in the Champions League Final, KDB was back to his best in the group stages, claiming two MOTM awards as Belgium won all three games. After suffering an ankle injury against Portugal, he's a real doubt for Friday's quarter-final against Italy, however. Photo: KIRILL KUDRYAVTSEV
8. CM: Paul Pogba - 7.7/10
Paul Pogba really steps up a gear when he pulls on a France shirt, and lit up the group stages with some dynamic midfield play. In his side's dramatic exit to Switzerland, he scored one of the goals of the tournament, as well as slotting home the perfect - albeit ultimately worthless - penalty in the shootout.
