Euro 2024 power rankings: Spain, Germany up top

We’re already more than a week into the competition, so now is an ideal time to share our Euro 2024 power rankings ahead of the final games.

19: Hungary

Hungary is one of two teams who lost their first two matches — the other being the eliminated Poland. They’ve played two elite teams in Switzerland (1-3) and Germany (0-2), and they went down fighting. Struggling with their tactical shape, they won against Scotland in…
