Through the lens of Giacomo Cosua of Positive Agency we have witnessed Italy - Spain, a match fought until the end but which saw the triumph of the red furies. Ferràn Torres' double ended the game at the end of the first half, putting an end to the positive streak of the Azzurri that lasted 37 games. Pellegrini's goal almost at the end of the second half was not enough, the Azzurri fought and protested, Bonucci knew something about it, but Luis Enrique's team was more compact and lucid. It's impossible not to mention the debut of Gavi, a young boy from 2004, who literally dominated the scene in midfield, showing off veteran plays and movements. The Spaniards will now face the winner of France-Belgium in the final, which will be played tonight in Turin. While the Azzurri will challenge the loser in the final that will be worth the third and fourth place of the Nations League.
