  • Italy have reached their 12th semi-final at a major tournament (Euros/World Cup), with only Germany (20) appearing at the final four stage more often amongst all European sides. They have progressed from nine of the previous 11 semi-final ties, including each of the last four, most recently in this competition in 2012 when they eventually lost in the final to Spain (0-4).

  
  

  • Spain have reached the semi-finals of the European Championships for the third time in the last four editions of the competition (failing to do so in 2016). Indeed, they have gone on to win the competition on each of the last two occasions they have reached the final four - in 2008 and 2012.
