During the Euro Cup group stage, Switzerland’s 1 win and 2 draws that secured their spot in the Round of 16 were significantly influenced by Remo Freuler’s performances. In their opening match, a 3-1 victory over Hungary, Freuler provided an assist. In the final group game, a 1-1 draw against Germany, he again set up a goal. In the Round of 16, Switzerland faced the defending champions Italy, and Freuler stepped up once more, scoring in the 36th minute to break the deadlock, contributing to Switzerland’s 2-0 elimination of Italy.
Notably, this goal marked Freuler’s 9th international goal. His previous 8 goals for the national team have resulted in 4 wins and 4 draws, making him a true talisman for Switzerland.
Freuler’s first international goal came in a 2019 Euro Qualifier, where he scored in a 3-3 draw against Denmark. In the 2020 Nations League, he had a goal and an assist in a 3-3 tie with Germany, followed by a goal in a 1-1 draw against Spain. In the 2021 World Cup Qualifiers, he netted in a 4-0 win over Bulgaria.
In the 2022 Nations League, Freuler found the back of the net in Switzerland’s 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic. In the same year’s World Cup group stage, he scored the winning goal in Switzerland’s 3-2 triumph over Serbia. In the 2023 Euro Qualifiers, he scored in a 2-1 win over Andorra and contributed a goal and an assist in a 2-2 draw with Kosovo. Adding this latest goal, Freuler undeniably brings good fortune to the Swiss team.
