Italy Book Semi-Final Clash with Spain in Euro 2020

Italy continued their invincible run as they established themselves as firm favourites to win Euro 2020 by knocking World No. 1 Belgium in the quarter-final in Munich on Friday. Goals from Lorenzo Insigne and Nicolo Barella gave Italy 2-0 lead while Romelu Lukaku's goal from the sport was not enough as Italy beat Roberto Mancini's side in a fiercely-ontested match.

Spain became the first team to book their place in the semi-finals of Euro 2020 on Friday, and they were joined by Italy later that day.

La Roja advanced to the final four after beating Switzerland in a penalty shootout in Saint Petersburg, following a 1-1 draw in which Luis Enrique's side took the lead through a Denis Zakaria own goal before a mix-up between Aymeric Laporte and Pau Torres gave the Swiss the chance to equalise.

In the game's late kick off, the Azzurri beat Belgium, the ranked No.1 team in the world, 2-1 in Munich after goals from Nicolo Barella and Lorenzo Insigne to set up a mouth-watering clash between two of Europe's biggest footballing nations: Italy and Spain.

The semi-final clash will take place at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday, July 6, at 21:00 CEST.
