[[File:España Suecia inicio.jpg|thumb|The beginning of the match between [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]] and [[Spain national football team|Spain]].]]

'''Group D of [[UEFA Euro 2008]]''' was played from 10 to 18 June 2008. All six group matches were played at venues in [[Austria]], in [[Innsbruck]] and [[Salzburg]]. The group was composed of [[UEFA Euro 2004|defending champions]] [[Greece national football team|Greece]], as well as [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]], eventual champions [[Spain national football team|Spain]] and [[Russia national football team|Russia]]. Greece, Spain and Russia had all been drawn together in the same group in the [[UEFA Euro 2004 Group A|previous European Championship]] as well.

Following a 4–1 win over Russia in their first game, Spain qualified for the quarter-finals with a 2–1 victory against Sweden in their second. They clinched the top spot after Russia beat Greece later that day, condemning the title holders to last place in the group. The second quarter-final berth was to be decided by the Sweden–Russia match, with Sweden only needing to avoid defeat to go through. However, Russia scored a goal in each half to beat Sweden 2–0 and qualify for the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, despite going behind towards the end of the first half, Spain scored two second half goals, one coming three minutes before full time, to become the third team in the tournament to qualify for the quarter-finals with a 100% group stage record.

[[Greece national football team|Greece]] lost all three of their group games, thus finishing bottom without a single point, becoming the worst defending champion in the history of the European Championships.
