Spain qualified for the semi-finals after a tense penalty-shootout victory over Switzerland in Saint Petersburg.
On the other hand, Italy survived a departed Belgian rally to beat Roberto Martinez’s team 2-1 at Munich’s Allianz Arena.
Best shots from Nicolo Barella and Lorenzo Insigne saw the Azzurri overcome the best team in the world just before half-time against Belgium.
Notwithstanding meeting ten shots in Munich, Azzurri survived to book their place in the last four.
Azzurri remarkable unbeaten run now stands at 32 games, with their last loss coming back in September 2018.
Having won their previous 13 matches in all competitions, it is evident that beating Italy will be hard for the Spaniards.
Let’s not ignore that Mancini’s men have also kept 14 clean sheets in their previous 17 encounters, as well as netting over 1.5 goals in 12 of their last 13.
