For the fourth straight European Championship, Italy and Spain are meeting in the knockout round — this time with a spot in the final on the line.
The soccer powerhouses, which have claimed four European titles and five World Cup crowns between them, are meeting Tuesday in a Euro 2020 semifinal at Wembley Stadium in London.
Italy, which beat Belgium, 2-1, in the quarterfinals, is the only team with a perfect record at Euro 2020, having won all five of its matches. Spain went 1-0-2 in the group stage, then needed extra time to oust Croatia in the round of 16 and a shootout to defeat Switzerland in the quarterfinals.
