Spain vs Italy EURO 2024 Group B Matchday 2 preview: Where to watch, kick-off time, possible line-ups

Spain laid down a marker in their opener in Berlin, scoring three superbly worked first-half goals in a comfortable win against Croatia. Fabián Ruiz was the star performer, providing a perfectly-weighted assist for Álvaro Morata before doubling the lead with a low strike of his own, but it was a memorable afternoon too for 16-year-old Lamine Yamal, whose magnificent cross was turned in by Dani Carvajal for La Roja's third. The three-time winners head into their latest meeting with fellow EURO 2012 finalists Italy with the wind firmly in their sails.

Italy recovered from their first-minute setback against Albania to claim a hard-fought victory in their curtain-raiser. The Azzurri beat Spain at both of their last two tournaments, winning 2-0 in the round of 16 eight years ago before edging to a semi-final penalty shoot-out victory at Wembley at EURO 2020. The reigning champions are under no illusion about the size of the task facing them, but defender Alessandro Bastoni says they will "focus on Spain's weaknesses and hit them there".
