Italy will be looking to exact revenge on Spain, this time in the Nations League semi-final clash to be played in Enschede on Thursday.
La Roja had defeated the Italians at the same stage in the previous edition of the competition, going on to finish runner-up to France in the final, while the Azzurri eventually beat Belgium to bag the third place.
After pipping Portugal to the top spot in the Nations League group stage from League A Group 2, Spain were knocked out by Morocco at the World Cup. Whereas, having failed to qualify for the world event held in Qatar in 2022, Italy would finish atop League A Group 3 in the Nations League.
