✅  Stats before the game. Italy have faced Spain in 38 matches, only against Switzerland (60) and France (39) have the Azzurri played more games in their history.  Great balance in the 38 matches between Italy and Spain: 11 wins per side and 16 draws – in fact, only against Switzerland (23) did the Azzurri draw more matches than against La Roja.  Italy have won only two of their last 15 matches against Spain (8N, 5P), without scoring any goals in seven of them (penalty lotteries are excluded).  Three of the last 11 matches between Italy and Spain have ended in the penalty lottery: the Azzurri lost the first two (in the quarter-finals of EURO 2008 and in the semifinal of the Confederations Cup 2013) before winning in the semi-final of EURO 2020. This is Italy’s 59th game in Milan (37w, 19d, 2l), only in Rome it has played more (62).
