Spain and Italy UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Both Spain and Italy boast impressive resumes in the UEFA European Championships, making this fixture an illustrious clash between two European powerhouses. They are two of only four nations to have won the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championships.
Spain, a dominant force in European football, has a remarkable history in the tournament, securing three European Championship titles - a feat only Germany has matched. Their first victory was in 1964, beating the Soviet Union 2-1 in the final.
A glorious period of international football dominance followed, with Spain securing back-to-back championships at Euro 2008 and Euro 2012. La Roja's mesmerising possession-based football, known as ‘tiki-taka’, led the Spaniards to three consecutive major international tournament wins.
Italy, equally steeped in footballing tradition, has made four European Championship final appearances and have won the competition twice. The Azzurri triumphed in 1968, defeating Yugoslavia in the final. They clinched the Euro 2020 title to mark their resurgence in European football, beating England in the final via a penalty shoot-out.
Spain vs Italy Head to Head
Spain and Italy are familiar opponents in the UEFA European Championships. They’re probably sick of the sight of each other. A recent meeting occurred at the Euro 2020 semi-finals, in which Italy advanced to the final via a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory.
At Euro 2012, the two nations met in the showpiece final in Kyiv. La Roja crushed Italy 4-0, setting a record for the biggest ever winning margin in any major international final. The Azzurri exacted revenge by eliminating Spain at both Euro 2016 and Euro 2020.
