Germany coach Joachim Loew insisted defending champion Spain remains the favorite to win Euro 2012 as the Germans prepare to take on Greece in Friday's quarterfinal.
Germany - which lost to Spain in the 2008 final - is the only team at these European championships to have a 100 percent record after three wins in Group B on the back of ten wins from ten in its qualifying campaign before the finals.
Having hammered Ireland 4-0 in Group C and drawn 1-1 with Italy, world champion Spain finished top of the pool with a nervy 1-0 win over Croatia on Monday needing an 88th-minute goal from Jesus Navas to claim victory.
