Spain faces Italy tonight starting at 9:00 p.m. in its second match of the Euro Cup. It will be a great test for Luis de la Fuente’s team, who passed the first test with authority by scoring a goal against Luka Modric’s Croatia in their debut. If they win, La Roja will be in the round of 16 as first in group B and with high expectations after having knocked down two teams with a poster, but any other result would leave qualification for the crossroads at the expense of what happens in the last match of the phase of groups, which will be against Albania next Monday. The clash against Italy, which also arrives with three points after having come from behind in its debut against the Albanians, is the most repeated in the history of the team. Tonight will be match number 41, one more than against neighboring Portugal. The only change that De la Fuente has made in the eleven has been that of Laporte, already recovered from his physical problems, for Nacho to accompany Le Normand in the center of defense.
