Spain beat Germany 2-1 in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024 in Stuttgart, Germany, on the afternoon of the 5th (local time). Olmo scored one goal and one assist on the day to lead his team to victory.
In fact, Olmo was not a starter. I was waiting on the bench. Then, there was a variable in the 6th minute of the first half. Spain's Pedri was fouled by Germany's Tony Cross. I couldn't play anymore because I got hurt. Spain took out Pedri and put Olmo in.

The moment Olmo flashed again was in the 14th minute of the second half of extra time. With the score at 1-1, Olmo drove the ball up the left line. Then he put up a sharp cross. Merino connected this with a jump header and split the net. It was the winning goal one minute before the end of the game.
After the game, Olmo said "It was a difficult and complicated game. It went all the way to extra time. And we were able to win at the last minute. I want to celebrate this moment and enjoy it." As for the assist on the winning goal, "I don't really remember well "We were in the final third and space came out. I saw Hosselu and Merino when I grabbed the ball, just put it up. Merino finished well. It will probably be the best night of my national team's life."
