Spain should beat Switzerland in Euro 2020... but not if their quarterfinal goes to penalties

Perhaps you consider the idea ridiculous.

Spain, admittedly, have just scored 10 times split evenly across their past two matches -- no team has ever done that in the history of the European Championship. La Roja have only twice scored more goals at any tournament than the 11 they've smashed home so far in four games at Euro 2020: their victorious Euro 2008 and Euro 2012 campaigns. Moreover, Luis Enrique's side are firm tournament favourites -- never mind hotly tipped to dispatch Switzerland when then meet in St. Petersburg on Friday.
