Georgia's future bodes well after lighting up Euro 2024 - ESPN

COLOGNE, Germany — At the end of FC Cologne's RheinEnergieStadion housing the thousands of Georgia fans for their first-ever tournament knockout game, there was a sign behind the goal which read: «Believe.» Georgia have done just that from the moment they arrived at Euro 2024, but for 20 glorious minutes against Spain in the round of 16, they were contemplating something beyond even their wildest dreams.

Robin Le Normand's own goal prompted a roar that this Euros will do well to match and, briefly, the small eastern European nation were on course to achieve what would have been one of the biggest upsets this competition has ever seen. Or at least the biggest upset since they beat Portugal four days earlier.

It's been that kind of ride for Georgia.
