    Spain's convincing win over Croatia was a testament to their team's hunger and commitment, according to coach Luis de la Fuente. Fabian Ruiz was the star of the show, providing an assist and scoring a goal, while 16-year-old Lamine Yamal played excellently and also provided an assist with a magnificent cross that led to Dani Carvajal's goal.  Lamine Yamal's impressive performance belied his tender age, and he is surely one to watch in the future. He also became the youngest player to start in European Championship history.

    Italy, on the other hand, had a nervy win over Albania, conceding the fastest goal in Euro history before fighting back to win 2-1. Coach Luciano Spalletti emphasized the importance of playing good football, stating that winning alone is not enough. He acknowledged that the match against Spain would be a totally different proposition, requiring his team to up their game.

    The two teams have a rich history of competition, with Italy having the upper hand in their last two tournament meetings, including a semi-final penalty shootout win at Euro 2020. Spain, however, has been in decent form in their last six matches, winning four, drawing one, and losing one, while Italy has won four and drawn twice.

    As the teams prepare to face off, the coaches' words hint at a tactical battle. De la Fuente praised his team's competitive genes, while Spalletti emphasized the need for good football.

    The possible line-ups suggest a strong starting eleven for both teams, with Spain's attacking trio of Yamal, Morata, and Williams looking formidable, while Italy's midfield trio of Jorginho, Barella, and Frattesi will aim to control the pace of the game.

    Possible line-ups
    Spain: Unai Simon, Carvajal, Le Normand, Nacho, Cucurella, Fabian Ruiz, Rodri, Pedri, Yamal, Morata, Williams

    Italy: Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo, Bastoni, Calafiori, Dimarco, Jorginho, Barella, Frattesi, Pellegrini, Chiesa, Scamacca

    The Arena AufSchalke is set to be electric, with fans from both countries eager to witness a thrilling encounter. The match promises to be a masterclass in tactics, skill, and determination.
