Former Shakhtar Donetsk and Romania national team striker Ciprian Marica has commented on the outcome of Euro 2024 Group E. Recall, now all teams in this group have 3 points each, and in the final round of the group stage will play: Slovakia - Romania, Ukraine - Belgium.
"If we go back in time, before the start of Euro-2024, we thought that Romania would draw with Ukraine, lose to Belgium and aim to beat Slovakia in the last match of the group stage.
So we are now in a much better situation than everyone expected: a draw with Slovakia is enough for us. Moreover, let Belgium help us with Ukraine, and we can even lose to Slovakia," - Sport.ro quoted Marika as saying
It should be noted that by "help the Belgian national team" Marica means the victory of this team over the Ukrainian national team: in this case, if Romania loses to Slovakia, the Ukrainian national team will remain in last place in the group, and the Romanians will take third place with three points, which are likely to be enough to get out of the group.
