Last summer, the Georgian national team surprised many football fans with its performance at the European Championship.

Firstly, the very fact that the Transcaucasian team made it to the final part of the continental championship was astonishing.

Secondly, the Georgian team advanced from the group.

Thirdly, in their third match in the group stage, the Georgian footballers sensationally beat Cristiano Ronaldo and company: the Portuguese team lost with a score of 0:2.

In the first match of the Euro 2024 playoffs, the Georgian national team lost to Spain. But overall, the Georgians' performance at the championship was decent.
