MILAN: Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci believes Italy will have to reproduce their stirring last-16 Euro 2016 victory over Spain if they are to beat ‘La Roja’ in Turin on Thursday. Giam Piero Ventura’s men now face the much tougher task of a Spain side that has its sights firmly on claiming top spot and automatic qualification for Russia 2018. “Walking out into Juventus Stadium is always a special feeling, it feels like home and gives me a different kind of energy,” Bonucci said Tuesday.
