Comments:

Spain had now won all four of their UEFA European Championship tournament meetings with the defending champions. . They had now won eight consecutive non-friendly games for the first time since October 2017. . Pedri had now equalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for the most appearances by a European player at major tournaments while aged 21 or under (12).

Comments:

Italy had now lost two of their last 13 games (won eight). . The reigning champions are aiming to become the first nation to win back-to-back Euro tournaments since Spain in 2008 and 2012 but was now likely that they needed to avoid defeat in their last group game (versus Croatia) to progress to the knockout stages. . The Azzurri failed to score for the first time in their last 11 games at UEFA European Championship tournaments.
