We say: Spain 2-1 Italy

This will be the 11th encounter between Spain and Italy at a major tournament - a record between two European nations. Now meeting for the fifth straight Euros, they have been familiar foes in the Nations League too, and La Roja's run of success over the Azzurri could continue. A more diverse attacking approach paid dividends against Croatia, while Italy's defence remains dubious, so it may be Spain celebrating safe passage to the last 16. Read more.
