Spain vs Italy LIVE: Euro 2024 football score, line-ups, prediction and updates

Spain and Italy met in the semi-finals of the previous Euros, with the Italians triumphing on penalties at Wembley after a classic encounter.

Spanish manager Luis de la Fuente hopes this game will also live up to its all-star billing, despite taking place in the group stage.

“They’re contenders in every international competition,” de la Fuente said of Italy. “Spain versus Italy is a classic game, it could very easily be the final.

“They have great players, a great coach, and a real football culture. They’re one of the great national teams.”

Lamine Yamal, who at 16 became the youngest player in Euros history against Croatia, starts.

“We all know what a great player he is,” international team mate Fabian Ruiz said. “He’s only 16 but he doesn’t show that on the pitch.

“He’s extremely direct, he’s so good one-on-one and he’s very important for us. He’s going to be a great option for us to try and win this game.”
