Spain – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Furia Roja”, being under the leadership of de la Fuente, confirmed its status as “the queen of qualifications”. At the same time, that feeling was a little blurred due to the failure in March back in Scotland. Nevertheless, the team won the trophy, the Nations League, although Croatia capitulated in the final only in a penalty shoot-out.
The year 2024 began with a misfire, in the form of a 0-1 score in the struggle with Colombia, and the team did not maintain the advantage with Brazil, finishing with a 3-3 draw. And there were devastating victories, albeit with modest Andorra and Northern Ireland, in June. Being already at the Euro, the team played a confident first half, and after the break, without much hassle, although with some moments for “the Checkered Ones”, held on to the 3-0 lead with experienced Croatia.
Italy – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Squadra Azzurra”, after its triumph at the previous Euro, did not qualify for the World Cup – that happened for the second time in a row! And it appeared ahead of Ukraine only due to additional indicators, with equal points, in the qualification 2023. It is reasonable to mention that the referee, even with VAR, didn’t give a penalty at the end of the last match under very controversial circumstances, when Mudryk was openly hit in the leg.
Spalletti’s wards performed well in friendly matches in 2024. They conceded only 1 goal in 4 matches and only failed to beat Turkey. Speaking about the championship, the team started with the outsider of the quartet – Albania. There, Di Marco acted as an “assistant” to Bajrami, who scored the fastest goal in the entire history of the tournament. That forced the favourite to have a strong run. Still, having achieved the goal and taken the lead, the grandee played more and more according to the score, and, not without a couple of unpleasant moments in the end, it held on to that 2-1 result.
